This handbook is really helpful and has some great tips. It can be easy to get overwhelmed with all the different social media platforms and this helps to figure out what platforms suit and work best for you. Have definitely picked up a few hints that I will be applying in future.

This was a short eBooks which I picked up from Netgalley as I am a bookstagrammer and also volunteer as the Marketing Director in a non-profit organisation focusing on Social Media. I have been actively working on increasing the social media presence on both personal and professional levels and this has given me loads of hints and tips which I will be able to utilise in both of these areas. I recommend anyone who is involved in social media to pick this up as it has definitely given me loads of hints on maximizing my presence in the world of social media.

A must-read for anyone with a bookish social platform! I will most definitely be using this as a reference to aide my bookstagram content in the future. Appreciate the support from NetGalley in helping build and promote a bookish platform.

Standing out online as a book reviewer can be intimidating. Success needs a clearly laid out strategy. This is what Net Galley has provided in a helpful, clearly laid out guide which outlines how book bloggers can best advance their presence. A great and easy-to-understand resource. Definitely recommend.

I love this handbook! It gives a delightful insight if you’re new to the book blog world on all platforms. Some things I already knew but a lot I didn’t know and I’m just starting out. This could be a good refresher course for any book blog on instagram, YouTube, X, TikTok or goodreads. Thank you NetGalley for this wonderful handbook! Going to start using Canva from now on :)

A solid and pragmatic manual that offers a clear perspective on book communication through social media. "NetGalley's Social Media Handbook" stands out for its ability to provide practical and immediately applicable advice.
The main strength is its accessibility. The guide manages to explain potentially complex concepts clearly and directly, addressing both beginners and experienced users. The platform-specific advice is particularly valuable, as are the suggestions on creating authentic content.
Positive aspects:
- Concrete strategies for different platforms
- Professional yet flexible approach
- Suggestions on accessibility and content planning
- Useful advice for both newcomers and existing practitioners
The manual goes beyond simple promotion, offering a perspective on building a reading community. It's not revolutionary, but certainly useful for those looking to improve their online presence in the book world.
A practical reference for those who want to communicate their passion for reading effectively.

Thanks NetGalley for sharing this guide and helping us to become better reviewers and social media users.

This was helpful! If you are planning on breaking into the social media scene as a lover of books, this guide provides tips and tricks for all the different platforms. It gives checklists, dos and don'ts, and ideas to create your content. Thank you NetGalley! I appreciate the thoughtfulness put into this guide.

This has been very helpful to a new booktok personal like myself. Lots of tips and handy notes and suggestions.
Thank you so much.

Good resource especially if you are just getting started-lots of helpful information and ideas on utilizing different social media platforms. I like the colorful setup and the way they used infographic design so I could just flip through and immediately see exactly what I was looking for.

Very helpful handbook. Thank you NetGalley for providing this information. I enjoyed reading it. NetGalley is very helpful in providing resources for users.

I recently had a tiny burnout in dealing with social media (and life in general), and this book helped me to remember what's important. Like a textbook on basix things that matter, I love that there are basic knowledge for everything related to social media for bookish, but not too detailed like all the social media guru. A very helpful guide to come back to, whenever overthinking hits.

As someone still relatively new to bookstagram, this handbook is super helpful for me!
35 pages of tips and tricks for all social media accounts, including photo, review and hashtag tips to fully maximize your social media experience.
I saved this PDF to my home screen and will absolutely be referencing it!
Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish!

NetGalley's Social Media Handbook by We Are Bookish is different than I expected. It is a shorter publication, and more of a handbook. It has hyperlinks included in the digital copy which was a little more confusing for me. I wasn't sure what to think of this resource, but it did offer insight for building a better online presence.

This was a great tool to review and get ideas on how I can grow and be creative with my bookstagram account. Will definitely be referring back to this for support and ideas!

Very useful tool when reading and reviewing so many books. Thank you for creating and sharing with the book community.

I loved NetGalley's Social Media Hanbook. It's a quick reference guide with lots of tips. It shows the latest socila media sites and how to navaigate with explanations of each platform. It also provides how to write book reviews wih do's and don'ts on how to reach readers.

This was very helpful, thank you to the NetGalley team for making this! I've taken onboard so many of the tips to use towards my own social media and it's helped me feel a lot more driven and motivated to create better content!

Although I'm not a prolific user of social media, this handbook seems to have lots of tips and advice.

Super helpful! I love that NetGalley provided tips for multiple types of people on social media. Thank you for thinking of us and finding ways to be involved in the promotion of books and authors.
