Thank you NetGalley for providing the Social Media Handbook. As a book blogger expanding into other platforms slowly but consistently it was really helpful to read about how not to stretch myself out too thin. I'm still a bit wary about the rules and will probably slowly get more confident, especially around the timing of the review -- but this was a solid base to help me get started in my reviewing journey. Thank you and looking forward to reading!

I liked the suggestion of growing a presence as a reviewer on Substack, Pinterest, Threads and Reddit. The general dos and don’ts were very helpful.

If you're new to trying to use social media in a more professional/public manner this is generally pretty helpful advice. A lot of it is pretty well known if you've run any kind of social media before but there were a few arc specific pointers that were handy to know.

This outstanding and useful handbook is very comprehensive and makes it easy to understand everything you need to know about navigating your reviews and posting on social media.

Wonderful resources for social media starters in the book instagram world. Resources were structured well and informative.
