Ahhh this is such a useful and helpful guide! As someone who works in publishing (be it a small independent publishers) we are a very small team and this extra guidance on how to use social media is really good. There were definitely some tips and tricks I did not know about and look forward to using going forward. The fact that NetGalley put this together to help reviewers with their social content is 10/10!

Thank you so much for continuing with these guides - they really are appreciated!

This is a fairly comprehensive guide and should be the first point of call for those new to Bookstagram or another bookish community.

Once again, NetGalley and We Are Bookish deliver a helpful and comprehensive guide, this time focusing on the use of social media platforms.

As someone experiencing burnout from posting on social media without seeing sufficient traction, I found this guide to be incredibly insightful.

That was a very informative little guide to social media :)

As someone new to posting recomendations and reviews online I'm finding it hard so far to create a platform and to upload content that looks nice and aesthetic like what I see on Instagram and Tiktok. I don't know why I never thought about using Canva until I read this guide but I would really like to thank you for reminding me of it. Finally my posts will start looking prettier. I hope it helps make my content reach a bigger audience.

I loved the breakdown of all the social media platforms and what makes them different from each other. The Do's and Don'ts and general tips for growing a social media following are also super helpful. Thank you!

What a great resource!! I’ve had bookstagram for years, so I didn’t go into it thinking I’d learn much but I even learned a few tips, and the guide has me thinking about ways I can tweak my profile and reviews to be more professional and hook my audience!

I really appreciated and liked the other SM platform overviews and I learned a lot. Hope this resource stays available on here as I wasn’t able to download it.

I loved this little tool! I have been on Bookstagram for awhile now but, even with that, this had quite a few new and fresh ways to help me with my posts.

I ended up downloading Canva after the suggestions here so I can’t wait to try that out.

Thank you to We Are Bookish for these great tips!

Brought to you by the We Are Bookish team, NetGalley's Social Media Handbook is the perfect guide for anyone looking to grow their bookish community online. As someone who's looking to grow on bookstagram, this came at just the right time for me.

The handbook gave a wonderful overview of all the different social media platforms and how to make the most of them. I'll definitely be putting some Instagram and Goodreads tips to use. For example, I need to create a a #MeetTheBookstagrammer post ASAP.

Overall, NetGalley's Social Media Handbook was well-structured and insightful. I'd highly recommend this guide to any bookish social media influencers, big or small.

This is a fantastic social media guide for professional and hobbyist reviewers. I love how in depth this guide is for each platform. This is great for those who have expertise in particular forms of social media who maybe need a few bits of advice to help and those who maybe want to branch into new territory and don't know where to begin. It includes some helpful links and is really beneficial to help grow your online presence.

Thank you to We Are Bookish for sharing!

This handbook contains great tips for getting started. Users experienced at social media might even find helpful tips. I found tips for "X" and hashtags especially helpful. The graphics are pleasant and make things easy to read through.
