NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook is a guide that was created to help readers & reviewers create and maintain bookish social media pages. Within this guide NetGalley offers advice tailored to each individual social media brand (which I loved)!

This was such a helpful resource! I have been meaning to utilize my bookstagram for quite awhile now and this made the creation process seem more doable and less daunting!

I recommend this guide to readers that are interested in starting social media pages and aren’t sure where to start & are interested in receiving advice on navigating the social media sphere!

As I am continuing to grow my love for reading I have begun to consider possibly joining the "BookTok" community and this guide definitely gave me some great insight into where to even begin that journey!

Social media is confusing and sometimes I just want a guide on what to do. This is that guide for all book related social media. It's really helped me refine what my social media content will be and how to best utilize it to share my love of books.

This handbook provides a helpful guide on creating bookish content by explaining how the most popular platforms work, with tips and tricks that are specifically catered to each one. It also mentions and presents useful information related to how accounts on these platforms could be set up.

Despite the abundance of information related to content creating, each page is the perfect combination of short and sweet. I felt that the content tips section was the most useful to me. I’d always struggled with figuring out how to even start with creating bookish related content. However, with the information in this handbook, I have a much better idea.

I believe that any bookish content creator, brand new or seasoned, could benefit from reading this handbook. It has a bunch of useful information that I think could help anyone looking to start or even those who just want to better their preexisting account.

A really simple and straightforward guide to using social media to review books. It provides short no nonsense tips and is formatted in on engaging snappy backgrounds.

A great tool for all reviewers!

This book delivered exactly what the title promised—an informative guide for anyone starting out in the book world on social media. It clearly breaks down each platform and offers helpful tips tailored to each one.

Both informative and helpful ... to newbies and to those who have been around for years. I'm grateful for the sharing of information. Even after the four years I've been with NetGalley, I still appreciate it when things are laid out clearly!

I'm new to NetGalley and was overthinking how to share my book feedback/content on social media. NetGalley's Social Media Handbook shut all of that down. This stopped the overthinking and gave solid tips on how to share my love of books on social without doing too much. The best advice was to be yourself, share your natural personality. In a social world that can feel unauthentic, this was the perfect reminder to bring YOU to the table. You can be great at this without spending a ton of money. Bonus: The tips are broken down by social platforms, I've been set up for success.

The handbook had fantastic information for me to use to get my social media profiles up. Everything was clear and easy to find when I was looking something specific up.

thank you for the handbook. I work in social media (as a journalist) and thought I knew everything but still reading the e-handbook helped me get some more insights into booktok/bookstagram/booktube/…
i will definitely try to incorporate what new things I learned.

This resource is very helpful for anyone looking to learn more about promoting books on social media. Great tips and advice.

This handbook will provide a lot of assistance in helping me improve my reviews! I'm looking forward to using it!

I found this to be really helpful & have even taken screenshots of certain sections so I can go back to them time & time again

Anyone starting out their review profiles should reference this. The information helped me understand and tailor my content more to how I would actually be passionate about what I’m posting. Thank you NetGalley!

This was a great guide and I am still following it along, it gives you some insight into how to work the system and how to make it work for you. I feel that social media is something that is personal and can sometimes hinder you but this handbook gave a great overview to the world of reviewing on social media and how to get a little more interaction.


This is something that you need to be resilient to post consistently and especially since this is not my full time job, this guide was helpful for allowing me to learn some stuff and not get discouraged.

Just started a Bookstagram account and this was such a helpful resource - especially on how to begin and social media etiquette. Thank you to NetGalley for putting this together!

Love the tips and tricks that are outlined to make posting to Social Media easier. It can be a bit overwhelming with all of the different outlets and this helps to streamline it a bit.

The guide is well written and easy to follow. Will definitely help as a quick reference to review when needed. I appreciate the additional content to help get started.

A really useful, comprehensive and clear user guide on how to use social media… thank you so much NetGalley!!!

Would be a better tool for someone just starting out on social media. Good tips for beginners that covers the whole range of media and review mediums.

I'm a seasoned bookstagrammer, but this was really helpful!
