I'm getting back into doing reviews and wanted to start up my social accounts again. The last time I felt overwhelmed. This handbook was really helpful in organizing my thoughts and what direction I should start. Filled with actionable tips for all platforms, I'm starting to think about doing a YouTube channel as well. As the handbook mentioned, I'm going to start slow with TikTok and Instagram. I'm excited to update my bios and start posting again!
Thank you NetGalley.

Thank you for the compiled info. There were a few key points I never heard a thing about before, so I'm glad I learned somethings from this handbook.
This was a great handbook to have to just reference and use. It gives some good examples and ideas to help boost posts. Thank you NetGalley!
I really enjoy these handbooks full of helpful information in succinct and sensible pages. The graphics are well-done and make it easy to read and understand. I've been doing this almost a year so I'm neither brand new nor very experienced, but still found lots of information that I'll be referring back to and will utilize as I begin my journey of creating my own book account on Instagram. I currently review in many places on social media but plan to branch out to a more personalized platform soon. Thanks to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for another great tool!
Well written, informative, and easy to follow. I appreciate the tips as they will help me not only with my NetGalley reviews, but with my other social media job responsibilities as well.
This handbook is a good, resourceful primer for audiences new to bookish social media and Netgalley. There are many tips for newbies to get started on their social reading journeys. Some tips are helpful for veterans to the community who are looking to improve their reach as well. For anyone who is trying to make the greatest impact with their reviews and Netgalley membership, I highly recommend downloading this PDF.
A fantastic resource for those new to the bookish communities on social media, NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook provided plenty of hints and tips to get started. From how to write reviews to a Canva 101 introduction, the help would have definitely been useful when I first got my accounts underway. It wasn’t, however, for those that have been on the platforms for any significant length of time. Either way, it was a quick, easy read at just 35 pages, which I recommend to all new users of NetGalley who are interested in joining one of the book lovers’ social media realms. Rating of 4 stars.
Thank you to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for my complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
It is very interesting and informative book 📚 you get basic information about the social media platforms.
This publication has great graphics and is very insightful, it's a helpful tool at the beginning of one's journey with netgalley.
This guide is packed with helpful tips and links to dive deeper into writing book reviews. Perfect for beginners who need a clear starting point. I would’ve loved this when I first started sharing reviews online!
This is an excellent collection of information and tips from the We Are Bookish blog, complete with plenty of links to blog articles for further reading. Advice is well organized and presented at a beginner level for users who are unfamiliar with posting book reviews online and don't know where to start.

I would like to thank We Are Bookish, Book Advocate Resources for providing me with an advance readers copy via access to the galley for free through the NetGalley program.
The Story
This covered book review basics and essentials for the NetGalley platform.
I realized there actually are a few quirks in my submissions I have been inadvertently adding that I hadn’t realized I have been doing.
It was insightful to understand the #HashtagTips and how they are utilized within the NetGalley system.
The Writing
It’s short, sweet, and very accessible in how it is presented with a soft lavender, pastel powder blue, and sage-toned green NetGalley branding that was complete with “Do” and “Don’t” comparison lists.
There are also additional clickable hyperlinked tips and accompanying graphics that were easy to read through and absorb the instructional messages in an organized, professional manner.
Felt like a nice, simple reminder and a morale booster, cheerleading us to success, for the reading community niche that we are all a part of.

I have been waiting for this social media guide and so glad it's here. I've been a reviewer for a while now and while I do share reviews on social media sites, I feel like I'm stumbling around and not showcasing the review correctly or using the right hashtags to gain more attention to posts.
I like the detailed explanations on everything and am glad you included a link to social media etiquette.
The handbook is easy to use and very helpful!
I highly recommend this for any new or seasoned reviewer!
Thank you NetGalley for the handbook!
