NetGalley's Social Media Handbook is a very comprehensive explanation of what needs to be done to stay on top of your game and increase the likelihood of getting to read more AC. It was a little daunting to me as I'm not a huge social media person and I appreciate the tip that not everything has to be done all at once. I would encourage anyone new to NetGalley to read this.

Very insightful for mindful reviews on social platforms. Each social platform has its own section and tips which reflects how each one is unique and success measures differ. Thanks for providing NetGalley!

This is a great social media guide for book reviewers. It is primarily for those who want to start a book account on social media, but there are tips for sharing on platforms like Goodreads and The Storygraph, retail sites, and blogs.

This does a great job of explaining how NetGalley works and how best to promote all the books and give the feedback.

I appreciated how it goes beyond the basics with sections on equipment, editing tools, how to introduce yourself, and how to build real engagement. It also includes solid tips for cross-posting reviews, promoting content effectively, and planning ahead so you’re not scrambling for ideas.

Plus, the walkthroughs on Canva, photo editing, and content planning were super practical, especially for anyone trying to create polished posts without spending hours.

Thank you NetGalley for this awesome resource!!!

A fantastic resource tailored for each social media platform, in order to make content engaging and keeping it professional. It provides overviews for each social media platform, getting started on each platform, information about book reviews, strategies and other useful resources on NetGalley.

Definitely a resource that I will constantly refer back to as it has incredibly useful information!

Very helpful guide for new users of NetGalley, and for new book reviewers on the various social media platforms. Quick and easy to read.

This was a super helpful guide to get started with sharing reviews, recommendations, and other fun commentary on socials! I think there is so much critical information here that helps to get started AND helps you to continue on your social media journey.

I greatly appreciate how many social etiquette things are called out in this guide. I feel like many folks are still learning these things, because these online spaces have their own rules for etiquette that often diverge from real-life etiquette!

I also love that this book offers a lot of options for content ideas, posting consistently, and building/supporting the community you build! As a "baby bookstagrammer" who doesn't post too often, I know my account won't grow exponentially. However, I still want to go a good job when I do have the ability and time to post! I really enjoy the small community I've built so far, and this book has really helped me to do that!

This book is a concise yet thorough manual for users seeking clarity in the often overwhelming world of digital platforms. The book excels in breaking down key platforms and gives a great insight on how to write powerful and effective reviews. Highly recommended for all social media users.

A terrific guide. Provides a lot of basic information on the social media platforms. Also, provides good examples for review posts, including things you should and shouldn't say in reviews. Recommend to anyone starting out their book related account(s).
