There's a lot of great advice here for anyone looking to use social media for reviews. From tailoring content to specific platforms to best practices for accessibility, this is all helpful content presented in an approachable way!

Thank you for putting together the NetGalley Social Media Handbook for us! I really appreciated the tips and tricks included in this handbook. There were several things I hadn't thought about before or was unaware. I appreciate the help!

This book provides insights for engaging with social media. The tips are specific to each platform and offer actionable advice. I found it useful and accurate.

Exactly what it says it is. This is a crash course in understanding and using social media. This is appropriate for someone wanting the basics, to review their knowledge, or to use as a guide.

A useful guide that provides info on how to operate within netgalley and the various suggested platforms, looking forward to hopefully putting it to good use

This guide was really helpful when I first started being a part of NetGalley! I’m definitely going to continue to use the helpful tips and refer to this reference with all my social media-book-review questions! Thank you NetGalley for such a helpful guide!

This was super helpful and I've applied these tips to my own review flow! I appreciated the examples, and I like that it reminds you that you don't need to be everywhere. It's better to have a more high quality presence on one or two platforms where you really thrive than it is to be everywhere and do mediocre content.

A must-read for anyone in the book world looking to level up their social media game! NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook is packed with practical, platform-specific tips that feel refreshingly tailored to book lovers - whether you’re posting on Instagram, TikTok, or beyond. I loved how it balances creativity with strategy, covering everything from accessibility and content planning to staying authentic while growing your audience. It’s approachable, insightful, and full of ideas I’ll be putting into practice on my Bookstagram account. A brilliant resource for reviewers, librarians, booksellers - anyone who wants their bookish content to really shine.

This helpful handbook reviews several media platforms. Info for everyone!! I learned some helpful tips that I can't wait to put into practice.

This guide was helpful in getting some ideas for starting a social media and posting reviews. I learned some interesting tips, and will have to keep these in mind.
There are multiple platforms covered so there is information for everyone!

This social media guide is such a helpful tool for anyone in the book community, whether you’re just starting out as a reviewer or looking to level up your content. It’s practical, easy to follow, and packed with genuinely useful advice. What stood out most to me were the platform-specific tips. It doesn’t just give general advice and call it a day. Instead, it breaks things down based on where you’re posting, whether that’s Instagram, TikTok, Goodreads, or somewhere else.
I also really appreciated the extra links throughout. They point you to even more resources, so you’re not left wondering what to do next. Everything is in one place, and it feels like a supportive guide rather than a checklist. It’s a great starting point for building your presence and growing your confidence online. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants to share their love of books in a more intentional and strategic way.

Provides great information, tips, and tricks for beginning or continuing your journey within bookish social media. The handbook breaks down information for each section of bookish social media ranging from bookstagram to booktubing, and even book blogging. A fantastic read that has helped me develop a plan for starting my book influencer journey.

Overall this was pretty helpful. The download didn't seem to be fantastic. I'm not sure if its the file that was the issue or it just downloaded bad. The titles on every slide were missing letters but the paragraphs were easy to read. I did really like reading about ways you can utilize social media to post reviews!

An useful, concise guide. Clearly laid out and presented. It is easy to refer to, for whatever you may be unclear or need to know how to do.

Thank you to Net Galley for this helpful resource guide for social media! As I start my book blog and reviews, this guide has been a valuable resource about the different platforms for social media, how to create content, and how to content specifically for individual platforms. This guide has great recommendations for strategy on social media. Thank you again for a great resource!

What a great free resource for book loving content creators! I've already read it cover to cover twice and plan to implement lots of this advice to continue growing my bookstagram account!

I found this handbook to be full of lots of useful information and helpful tips. Particularly, I found the section on reviewing and posting about audiobooks and incorporating Canva to extremely helpful!

Quick, informative read. It offers useful tips for sharing reviews, engaging authentically with readers, and growing your presence online. I appreciated the practical examples, it's a helpful guide for anyone wanting to make the most of their bookish content.

This is such a great tool for those who are even just somewhat familiar with these social platforms but do not have a formal/non-personal account set up with one or more of these platforms. As a social media manager, this is all very easy information for me and I can see how this would be a great tool for someone just starting out. The links out to various blog posts and other links is great for continuing to provide quality and deeper information for those starting their own accounts.
Thank you We Are Bookish and NetGalley for providing this as a free resource!

Thanks so much for this social media handbook.
Though it may be hard to believe, but not all of us are social medial savvy. I might have plenty of opinions when it comes to books, but I've no idea how to share them. Thanks!
