This Handbook was both helpful and visually appealing!

As a long-time book lover, short-time book reviewer, having a handbook to help guide my social media presence was imperative. There were tips and tricks included that I had never even considered. Some of the platform-specific information wasn't relevant to me as I focus on Instagram and GoodReads, but I'm still glad the information was available so other reviewers can benefit.

I anticipate flipping through these pages a few more times as I work to find my unique review style. Thank you for providing this information for newbies like me!

I found this very helpful. i think anyone looking for new ideas or a refresher can find something through the guide!

This handbook is a handy resource for beginners navigating social media, specifically about book reviewing and engaging with the NetGalley community. Even if you’re not a complete novice, there’s a good chance you’ll pick up a new tip or two.
I recommend reading this if you’re new to social media or just starting out with NetGalley. It’s concise, accessible, and provides practical advice for building your online presence.
I hope to see more guides like this in the future—perhaps a more advanced version for seasoned users? It would be great to see additional strategies for more experienced reviewers.

Great tips, I love the focus on each social media platform and the links back to the blog to deep dive into a topic.

I don't currently use social media for reviews/book journalling. Although this is something I have been considering for a while, I found this book extremely helpful in planning what I want it to contain/be aswell as how to make it engaging for other people. I very much looking forward to using this to help follow up my future plans of becoming a content creator

Found this one helpful to help grow my bookstagram account and how to get the most of it.

Also gave me some ideas of other apps I can use to make content to share.

A helpful how-to for those who want to start growing a book focused social media presence. Specifically useful for NetGalley users but can be applied beyond those giving NetGalley reviews.

This was very helpful, especially as someone new to arc reading and bookish social media. I really appreciated all the easy to apply tips and tricks. Thanks for sending a copy!

I am just getting started with this Social Media Handbook from NetGalley, but I can say honestly it's full of good information for a book reviewer. I am a bit long in the tooth and though I've been on the internet for several decades (ahem) I can always learn something new, as there is always some new website or platform coming along for communication and promotion. Looking forward to a deeper dive.

I was feeling too old for a lot of social media but this guide has actually motivated me to try instagram (and maybe a blog).

It contains lots of useful tips and advice about of all of the main social media platforms - with sections for each including in depth guidance.

Very easy to read and will be a helpful resource for the future.

Incredibly helpful to new reviewers who haven’t had much experience on social media or those who are unsure how to use social media to best grow their NetGalley account. I found the suggestions to be helpful and constructive. I believe this will be something I will reference back several times as I start to get more comfortable with reviewing.

An incredibly thoughtful gift. Thank you, NetGalley. These tips and bits of information will be quite beneficial.

Need some help on how to use better social media? This guide is for you. It gave me some interesting insight to reflect upon. I learned many useful tips I will implement soon. Very aesthetically pleasing and clear writing style.

An accessible and practical handbook, filled with lots of tips for navigating social media. This handbook caters to both professional and personal use of social media for book-related content. I loved the visuals and the layout of this handbook. Lots of interesting ideas presented and some useful resources also signposted!

This guide is packed with a lot of quick tips for getting started reviewing books on social media. These same tips are valuable, whether reviewing an ARC via NetGalley or an older favorite. This guide is best suited for people who have no or only limited experience with social media in general and book reviewing, in particular. For those who do have experience with both of these things, the guide is still helpful for branching out onto other content platforms, but readers with experience won't find any groundbreaking new information.

In addition, some of the information in it has recently become outdated because the guide references hashtags for Instagram, and Meta has disabled the ability to follow hashtags. In addition, this guide was written before the TikTok ban in the United States went into effect, so it still promotes BookTok as a viable option. The guide will need to be updated pending the outcome of the legal case currently before the US Supreme Court in order to stay relevant for US-based reviewers.

Overall, this guide is a quick and easy read that's worth making time for. Make sure to check out the embedded links to expanded content, too!

Very useful collection of advice for first starters and senior book reviewers alike. From Instagram related advice to ideas on how to structure your reviews, this little booklet is a hidden treasure.
