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!

Things the handbook taught me
-The existence of Trello
-Publishers include book-specific hashtags above the book's description on NetGalley

This pdf provide a comprehensive guide on how to review on all the various social media and review sites. It was actually really helpful and even provided cool ideas for posting!

As a big fan of checklists plus do's/don'ts suggestions, THANK YOU! This handbook was extremely helpful as someone starting out to do book reviews on Instagram and TikTok. Which I greatly appreciated it expanded on various forms of social media because so often some folks just think of the popular platforms (like TikTok and Instagram). They added information on Youtube and Blogging, if you want to explore that area or you're already doing it. The infographics were helpful and easy to read! I've read previous handbooks similar to this topic and sometimes it's just too wordy or information overload. They kept it simple, straight to the point, and fun to read! Thanks We Are Bookish and NetGalley for taking the time to create this handy workbook!
