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.

This handbook is full of useful information for sharing reviews on social media. I have written reviews for my own personal use for years, but I am just venturing into sharing them on social media. This is a resource I can refer to often.

This is a very basic overview of the different types of social media and how to create and post content. It gives good tips on writing reviews. It's good for what it is. I was hoping for a little more deeper dive into the social media platforms. It works fine for someone just starting to post reviews on the different platforms.

This handbook was beyond helpful!
It gave tips and advice and even common rules for reviewing and sharing book content in social media. I created a content calendar and my views and follows has gone up within one week. I've already recommended it to multiple new bookstagramers!
It's great to have to go back to later for more tips if I wanted to add a new social media platform like YouTube.

This guide is very useful in determining how to best approach bookish content and book reviews in social media. It provides specific advice for different platforms as well general overall advice on setting up your profile and how you want to present your content. Lots of do's and don'ts are included, some I hadn't thought of like don't use quotes from ARCs as it may not be finalised yet. Lots of food for thought and practical advice.

If you are just starting with social media, this is a good resource with tips and tricks for different platforms. The social media guide also includes links to more information on every topic. Most useful for me were the tips for taking photographs of ebooks and audiobooks for Instagram.

This was very useful! I have been a part of the bookish community since 2017. I have been a member of Netgalley since 2019 and I noticed the more recent upgrades, tools, and social media impact in the bookish community. In addition, I understand more now how to utilize social media and the impact it can make as far as books and supporting authors. I hope Netgalley makes more tools and informative products like this I would love to read and review them! Thank you Netgalley from the bottom my heart for the tools and support!
