Very helpful with managing my accounts that are just starting out and still finding their footing. I really appreciate the support and guidance as I work to build a stronger foundation and grow in the coming future. It’s not always easy starting from scratch, but having helpful resources and encouragement makes a big difference. I feel much more confident moving forward knowing that I have the tools I need to succeed. With time, consistency, and the right help, I’m excited to see where this journey will lead. Thank you for making the beginning stages a little easier and a lot brighter!

A great how-to social media handbook guide full with do's and don'ts, examples, tips and tricks and more.
This handbook is definitely useful. I have already incorporated some of the useful tips to one of my social media platforms.

As someone not really new to the creator side of the bookish community I didnt learn anything new but this is a very informative quick and easy read for newbies. The information in this handbook is clearly articulated and easy to follow. I am also very happy that it follows most social media plattforms.
While I would have loved more in-depth info, this was a good overview.

A short and concise booklet about how to grow your bookish brand! Everything was laid out neatly and efficiently. I especially appreciated the accessibility sections.

Similarly to the Book Advocate Toolkit, this is okay for a very surface level of knowledge and doesn't go into much depth.

The file in the NetGalley Shelf app glitched a lot when I tried to read it, with the text appearing fine, but the page titles and graphics disappearing.

I find that it can be daunting as a new book advocate to put yourself out there and share your book reviews with the world. So, it feels really good to know that I have this handbook by my side whenever I need some tips on how to find a social platform that is right for me, how to create social media strategies that work, and also how to provide constructive feedback in my book reviews.

This handbook is designed to be helpful to anyone interested in becoming a content creator in the bookish space and goes beyond just reviewing Netgalley ARCs. Not only does it include software-related tips, but even how to frame your pictures for Instagram. I also loved that it included social media etiquette with examples that may not be as obvious to everyone.

I didn’t learn much but I could see this being very helpful for someone new to social media! It was direct, to the point, and easy to follow. And covered several platforms which as I mentioned, would be great for a person trying to break into this world.

An amazing guide for any bookish creators aiming to enhance their online presence. It is a comprehensive resource offering advice tailored to various platforms, including Bookstagram and BookTok, and covers best practices for accessibility, content creation, and cross-platform sharing. Plenty of suggestions to ensure content is both engaging and professional. Thanks We Are Bookish for putting this resource together!

I’ve gained a better understanding of how to evaluate content, tone, and organization, which has made my reviews more thoughtful and well-rounded. It’s also pushed me to be more consistent and concise with my feedback. Overall, it’s been an incredibly valuable tool in helping me grow as a reviewer.

This guide was very informative and is in my opinion, something that all new bookstagrammer’s should read. Honestly, I wish this was available to me starting out, but I still learned a thing or two today!

It takes you through account creation, bookstagram 101 (plus other platform guides), how to write book reviews across different platforms, and more. The do’s and don’ts were excellent, such as don’t tag an author in a negative review, don’t plagiarize, do plan content and be consistent, and include disclosure statements.

Overall, great guide @netgalley!

Thank you NetGalley for this amazing social media marketing guide. I found it incredibly informative, helpful, and pleasant to read. Thank you for pictures and the do’s and don’t’s.

I was surprised to learn not to tag authors in anything other than a glowing 5 star review. I’ll keep this in mind when tagging them.

Again thank you for this guide
