This is a nice beginner's guide to the major social media platforms in the book community. I think it's helpful if you are looking for checklists to make sure you're not forgetting the basics, but if you're already active on these platforms and consuming content, I don't think you're going to learn anything new. It's a quick 35 pages so it can't hurt to skim, but to manage expectations, I think spending time on the platforms is probably the best way to learn and find your voice.

This book is highly useful, I will be definitely using it in the future, I’ve taken a lot of note from this.

This is a helpful tool when trying to get better at ones reviews. I love all of the different tips and tricks that this provides.

I found NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook to be a very handy quick-reference guide for starting a bookish account on social media. It covers the basics of most major platforms, and I would have found it incredibly useful during my first few weeks. I learned many of the same insights the hard way—through trial and error—so I truly wish I’d discovered this resource sooner!
That said, once you’re past the beginner stage, this probably won’t offer much new. If you're already experienced with social media—even if you're just now applying it to books—it may not add much to your knowledge.
All in all, I really appreciated finding this handbook.

I found this very helpful for adding to my book related social media accounts. I found the Instagram tips particularly helpful.

Loved that this was available to download and help support newer book reviews and content creators. Lots of helpful information and tips that anyone can easily apply. I'll definitely be keeping this open and on hand as I continue to build on my strategies for increasing my social presence in the bookish channels.
Thanks for providing!

I really enjoyed this handbook. I've been thinking about starting a BookTok account and I have a little used Bookstagram account, but this really helped to give me the 101 on each platform. They have a section about getting started on social media, book reviews and strategies for content planning photo tips, etc. If you're interested in starting a social media account based on books this is a great intro to help you get started.

Another great resource. Thank you NetGalley & We Are Bookish for creating this. Very clear, great graphics, would recommend - accessible and helpful.

I've been planning on improving my social media use around books, and getting serious with booktok/bookstagram this summer. So a whole booklet with information and ideas for that is great!

A helpful and easy to read guide on how to get started with everything on socials. Things can feel overwhelming quickly, so it's nice to have a reference with tips and tricks.

This engaging book serves as an invaluable resource brimming with practical tips to enhance the promotion of our book reviews. It offers clear and insightful guidance that is especially beneficial for individuals who are new to social media platforms, providing them with the tools they need to navigate these spaces confidently and effectively.

Thank you for everything in this handbook! It was so helpful, and I will be using this all the time. I definitely recommend this to all bookish content creators.

Such a helpful guide for lost book content creators and the ideas are amazing and creative, I find it helpful with the amount of info that is mentioned. Love the way it goes to multiple sources and levels for all people who love books out there.

This was a really helpful guide and I'll be hanging onto it to refer back when I need fresh ideas. It's always good to hear from people who know what's working effectively.

I found this read really interesting and a great way to improve my social media to better fit the type of readers I want to inspire. I will definitely come back to this handbook whenever I need some inspiration and additional help.

This was very handy and informative. There was some glitches though, the heading had missing letters . The information however was very useful thank you

I found this to be extremely insightful and helpful on etiquette and the do’s and dont’s when posting book reviews on social media. This easily outlined great content and was appealing to the eye. Thank you NetGalley for this amazing guide!

Very helpful tips for publishing your NetGalley reviews to your blog, and social media. I found the section on promoting your reviews on social media very useful, especially the tips on how to tag publishers and Netgalley when sharing the review. Definitely another booklet that I will consult going forward!

This book gave great incite on how to do social media for books. The book had great points on how to grow the account.
