This is a great resource for those needing some extras tips/guidance for posting on social media. This is especially helpful for those who may not be as tech savvy when it comes to using hashtags, etc.

Even if you think this does not apply to you, that you are seasoned, open it up and consider it a refresher course. It’s a really great reference piece.

Very helpful guide. Includes basically all major social channels with detailed and specific advice for each one. This guide is very much appreciated and I learned a lot!

So glad I found this handbook. It is full of helpful tips, both general and specific. The information is clearly set out and very aesthetically pleasing.

A great companion guide to NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit, the Social Media Handbook has some excellent tips for anyone starting out in the Bookish world. Starting with the basics like introducing you to different platforms and moving through pointers for photographs and engagement, this was a well-rounded crash course in Bookish social media.

While some of the information may be redundant if you've been operating on these platforms for a while, it's definitely helpful for anyone brand new to the game. Colorful illustrations help keep it all visually appealing, and reference links are included for any extra help you may need.

Thanks to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book!

5 stars

Really enjoyed this social media guide! I love that this guide has tailored advice for the different platform. Great for beginners and more experienced book reviewers alike! Thank you!

A great and fairly detailed introduction to utilizing social media platforms for bookish purposes. I appreciated the section on reviewing across platforms, which gives advice for adapting NetGalley reviews for different social media platforms (something I have historically had issues with on shortform platforms). And I REALLY appreciated the section on accessibility, which was simple and to the point.

This handbook was very informative! I like that it didn't assume the reader had lots of information on social media, but wasn't bogged down by explaining it. The graphics were all so fun and cute too and I love all the blog links!

This made me understand so much about netgalley. I learnt a lot about how netgalley works and about how to manage my social media account. This handbook was very very helpful

This had a lot of interesting information for posting on social media. I only use Instagram and knew most of these things. However, it was a nice refresher and gave me some inspiration. If I ever decide to post on other social media platforms, it's definitely something that I will refer back to when getting started.

This was a helpful and straightforward book about social media. It goes over all the different social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Next, it discusses general social media dos and don'ts,creation tips as well as describing the fundamentals for each site for books. It also does an excellent deep dive into book reviews as in tips, writing across platforms, and retail platforms. Lastly, it discusses different strategies and aspects of content creation. I think this will be helpful for people that want to make content online but don't know how to.

NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook provides a fantastic overview for book reviewers. This handy guide assists reviewers in planning, creating, and sharing their reviews across various platforms, including Instagram and TikTok.

I found the section on composing and sharing photos of books on social media particularly helpful.

While the page design is beautiful, I found the white text on light backgrounds difficult to read. Several sections were hard to decipher when viewed in dark mode on the NetGalley reader. Additionally, there is no option to send the book to Kindle.

Overall, this was a valuable read that I could easily breeze through. It provided me with great ideas for expanding to other platforms and growing my audience. This is a must-read for any NetGalley reviewer, whether they are just starting out or looking to refresh their skill set.

This handbook is a useful and well-structured guide for improving online presence as a reviewer. I liked its practical approach, with straightforward tips on creating and promoting content across different platforms. The advice on engagement, content planning, and tools like Canva is especially helpful. I also appreciated the focus on accessibility and best practices for interacting with publishers and authors. However, some sections feel a bit basic for those with experience. Overall, it’s a well-organized resource and worth reading for anyone looking to refine their social media strategy.

I’m an established bookish content creator and I still found some great tips here! I like that it covers multiple platforms and how they can work together. I would highly recommend if you’re new to the space.

This is so cohesive and helpful! I took so many notes, especially for the bookstagram, booktok, and audiobook sections. I can't wait to put them all to use.

A must-read for aspiring book influencers who want to make the most of their platform!

Holy cow does this NetGalley Journal have everything you need when starting a reading journal. It is greatly helpful and I plan on using it in future reading journals!

If you are anything like me (lacking artistic ability and lack of time to create a reading journal) then this is going to save you so much time and hassle!

I am so happy that I was able to discover this little treat and I can't wait to use this in the future! It is going to be extremely helpful in tracking my ARC reads, and any reads in general.
