This handbook is full of all sorts of useful information. I’ve already been doing most of the suggested tips for Bookstagram, but it was nice to get confirmation that I’m doing what works. There are some really great tips for bloggers I’m going to consider, and I’ll definitely refer to the handbook if I ever decide to branch out to Youtube or TikTok.

My favorite tip (and the one I’ll be using immediately because it’s genius) is the one for photos of audiobooks. I’ve been taking photos of my iPad screen and never thought to take a screenshot of the audiobook screen and edit it on Canva. What a game changer. It’s going to be so much easier and look way better and I love you guys so much for that.

A helpful starting point for anyone looking to launch a review-focused presence on social media—whether that’s Instagram, X, YouTube, Goodreads/StoryGraph, or a blog. I appreciated the platform-specific advice as well as the guidance on how to share reviews while keeping your audience, publishers, and the platform itself in mind.
