With many helpful tips and ideas for posting book related content across social media platforms, it is a great and impactful resource. Love NetGalley’s commitment to helping users navigate bookish content - read this if you’re looking for some helpful tips!

Extremely helpful if you’re new to bookish content and social media for bookish content. Lots of tips and information to help you start out or improve with social media and bookish content!

NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook by We Are Bookish is a wonderful social media guide for professional and beginner book reviewers.

If you are just starting with social media, this is a good resource with tips and tricks for different platforms. The social media guide also includes links to more information on every topic. Most useful for me were the tips for taking photographs of ebooks and audiobooks for Instagram.

Helpful quick read on how to use social media and share your reviews depending on your audience and the platform. Easy to read and helpful tips!

This was very useful! I have been a part of the bookish community since 2017. I have been a member of Netgalley since 2019 and I noticed the more recent upgrades, tools, and social media impact in the bookish community. In addition, I understand more now how to utilize social media and the impact it can make as far as books and supporting authors. I hope Netgalley makes more tools and informative products like this I would love to read and review them! Thank you Netgalley from the bottom my heart for the tools and support!

NetGalley social media handbook was so helpful! I love the different ways you can track and share. This is also helpful to grow your platform, some do’s and don’ts. It tells you all the platforms you can share your bookish thoughts!

This was so helpful! I feel super empowered and ready to improve my social media accounts for reading. Netgalley is such a good resource to have!

This was a handy and informative resource. I was looking for something that provides guidance to a new reviewer for any future social media work, which definitely helped!

Social media can definitely be overwhelming. I try to stick to just a few apps and I'm now even more comfortable in my decision to not do video review after reading the tips here. I appreciate the advice and will implement some of the tips here for things I didn't consider, such as tagging the publisher.

I believe this will be helpful for me to build a following on Booktok and Goodreads. I plan to utilize the information provided to help with my book reviews.

Super helpful tips on writing reviews and promoting on social media! The tips for X/Bluesky were especially helpful, as well as the knowledge to use Canva to edit covers onto e-readers!

NetGalley comes through with yet another tool to help boost your NetGalley experience! After reviewing the Reading Journal and Book Advocate Toolkit, have kept an eye out for anything else NetGalley publishes to assist reviewers. This was a great introduction and explanation of the various social media platforms and how to get started with them. I primarily post on Instagram and GoodReads, but I have been curious about some of the other platforms out there, and this has once again got me thinking about if I can expand my reach with other platforms. I will be investigating some of the options discussed to see how I might be able to share books on more platforms and be more effective with my tags and hashtags. Thank you for providing this!

Really helpul tips. This guide covers all social media tips, really useful especially for a beginner like myself. Thank you very much for this toolkit.

Very helpful tips. I appreciate the explanation and helpfulness of each social media platform independently. I will be working on integrating these tips in the future.

Very very helpful for someone who is just getting start with social media advocating with fresh accounts and starting from scratch! Thank you NetGalley for having our backs!

A big thank you to Netgalley for this handbook. It is full of information and I learned a lot thanks to it. It is well structured, full of useful links (and they all work!), and nicely illustrated.
It is a really nice idea to put this guide together because for those of us not so experienced, navigating social media is not an easy challenge.
For me, the highlight in this guide is the platform-specific advice. Extremely valuable.
All the advice is very welcome and this guide is a very good companion to the Book Advocate Toolkit.

This was very insightful for those of us who are just getting in to making social media profiles for reviewing books. It was laid out clearly and easy to understand

Great information for people who are wanting more information on We Are Bookish. I think everyone could learn something from it.

Thank you Netgalley for this book, it was a pretty helpful guide. I appreciate it all the various handbooks you publish!
