This is a great resource for reviewers to post on Social Media. I found many of the tips helpful. Thank you Netgalley!

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.

Thank You NetGalley. We are bookish.

This is awesomeeee, Thank you so much! It’s definitely very useful and something all readers and bookworm will appreciate so much.

A very informative and helpful read! Social media is so huge these days it’s nice to have a catch up to make sure you know it all.

This is an incredibly helpful guide for anyone new to book reviewing in social media spaces! The guide includes practical, useable tips for each social media platform, including how to use content across different platforms. It is definitely on the basic side, but a great way to get started!

Loved this guide to social media! It was very informative and engaging. It really helped me up my social media game. I will definitely be using some of these tactics in the future.

Absolutely love this handbook. Just great advice on way to tweak your work and find way to improve success..

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.

Thank you so much for sharing this resource! I will use this resource aid for growing my bookstagram account

This has lots of good tips and ideas. I hope it helps lots of people! Thank you for including my favorite app, The StoryGraph!

I'm glad I saw this on my dashboard and read it. This is extremely helpful since I'm about to start reviewing on TikTok. It has a bunch of helpful tips and insights I didn't even think about.

I will miss We Are Bookish. This and the other resources created by them helped me grow in the last two years.

Very helpful information. It helps me to build a better profile and share reviews. All information is ordered logically and easy to access.Thank you for making this available.

Love this handbook. As a newer reviewer, I often struggled with writing reviews and knowing how best to get my review seen by others. This handbook is filled with useful information on the writing and publishing of my reviews!

Thank you for this great resource to use throughout the reading year, Netgalley! It is so cute! I love it!
