Thank you Netgalley for the arc and the wonderful resource.

This is a great guide for starting social media, but does provide a lot of basic information. I think it is targeted at people are new to social media and looking for a place to start rather then people who have already developed a following and creator voice. Saying that, I do think it gives people a starting point that many people need to push them.

Beyond that, I love the aesthetic and look of the PDF; it was easy to read and flowed nicely. The graphics were really cute and I liked that they provided examples.

Overall, a really good resource for beginners for online bookish spaces.

As a relatively new NetGalley user, this handbook was a perfect introduction on how to utilize Social Media in service of this website.

It was easily understandable, well-written and it’s a great handbook to have on hand in the future and reference as strategy as a reviewer.
