I found this handbook to be an invaluable resource for understanding NetGalley's social media ecosystem and best practices. As a new reviewer, the step-by-step guidance on building a strong reviewer profile and maintaining professional online presence was particularly enlightening.

Key strengths include:
- Practical tips for crafting engaging reviews across different platforms
- Guidelines for professional interaction with publishers and authors
- Best practices for sharing reviews on social media

The handbook excels at breaking down complex aspects of digital book reviewing into manageable steps. It effectively addresses common questions and challenges faced by both new and experienced reviewers.

While comprehensive, I would have appreciated more examples of successful reviewer profiles and specific strategies for different genres. However, this doesn't diminish its value as a fundamental resource.

This guide is essential reading for:
- New NetGalley members starting their reviewing journey
- Experienced reviewers looking to optimize their social media presence
- Anyone interested in professional book reviewing practices

I'd recommend reading this before requesting your first ARC as it provides crucial insights into NetGalley's expectations and professional standards.

The contents of this guide were truly helpful. I even learned a few things I could utilize at my day job. I can't wait to try out Canva and make some posts to hype up my articles!
One thing that got me thinking, though, is that Twitter really is less and less relevant now. (I refuse to use its other name.) Quite a few smaller platforms have popped up take its place and even if they are nowhere near as important now, they still have the potential to grow into worthy competitors. I hope the next edition will consider including some of them.
