This was great! Anything to help a girl out I am for! I am not on bookstagram for followers or likes, I am there for my book photo journal. This helps with tips for me to be more creative in my journal. Sometime I can work on for me. My own therapy! Thanks NetGalley for this copy!

I still can't believe how much I needed this! It was a good guide to have a better time managing my Instagram in 2025 and show more of my love of books to other people.

Thank you for this very loevly and useful social media handbook! I learned a few very useful tips, that I will tru to apply in the future

This is a very helpful guide. I started my bookstagram account back in 2018 amidst a lot of life transitions, and when that hit a head, I abandoned it. Finally eager to rejoin the bookstagram world as a creator, and this handbook was helpful in me figuring out my approach. I didn't have one last time. Ha!

A great handbook to help kickstart or reignite a book reviewer to start posting reviews - or to restart reviewing. Great tips and excellent layout - offers straightforward ideas! recommend!

This is a wonderful little handbook on social media! As a newer bookstagrammer it was super helpful and fun to read! Thanks Netgalley!

Super-helpful - excited to see what the bookish team comes out with next to help the reviewing community better share reviews.

A very useful guide for people thinking of starting to share their passion for books on social media.
Thank you NetGalley!

This handbook contains everything that you need (and more!) to get started on social media. I created my bookstagram many moons ago and never went back after one post. Now with this handbook, I am equipped to go back and start posting again! Thank you NetGalley!

As someone just getting into the world of bookish social media, this was a really helpful starter guide!

Thank you NetGalley for this digital copy!
This handbook is a wonderful introduction to the book world and how to start as a reviewer! Definitely check this out to learn everything you want to know about writing reviews, starting your book-ish social media, and ARCs. It is well written with enough detail to be in-depth, but a quick read to get started on NetGalley.
I would rate this title a 4/5 stars. My only nitpick is that I wish there was more! This guide was really short and I would have enjoyed even more content and tips. I will definitely check out NetGalley's other resources for more information after this short read.

This has been so handy. Ty this book with it’s scrapbook style, keeps it simple and the give a lot of information. This means that one won’t get overwhelmed or tired from bland teacher.
This book goes over all the platform, what they are good for and how to use them. Also more about reviews and how to connect with followers. It is a book I will continue use this as a great resource book.

As someone who has just decided to create social media specific for reading, this guide was fantastic!

Easy to read, fun, and informative. I'll certainly ly be using these tips for my feeds! As a newbie to the bookish world I'm sure this guide will come in handy! I had no idea there were so many publisher asks! Thanks

This is a handy dandy notebook to keep around and look back on! I love these notebooks and how essential they can be to help out when you need to know something.

I am planning on changing things up a little next year as the social side of my book blog kinda got left behind this year and I didn't concentrate on growing it at all. Some of the links were really useful too as I had missed the 13 review formats post. It has easy 1 page guides for each platform too.
Some things that surprised me, don't tag authors in anything but 5 star reviews. I usually tag them for 4/5 stars but not if lower.

Reviewing is hard and to appeal to the social media audience is harder. NetGalley's guide makes it so much easier with tips and tricks for things like Canva and how to write for a specific audience.
Thank you to NetGalley for the tips!

This is an extremely handy little book - I help with the social media for my library so this was a very useful tool for how to talk about books and get a wider reach. I'm pretty social media literate, so this was used as a good reminder.

Thank you for this handbook, this is very helpful and really appreciated. Helpful for someone starting out a book account!

Another very good one and another very berry cute design. Social media is not easy to predict or understand, I need all the tips I can get!
