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.

This was super helpful. I’d recommend it to any participants in the NetGalley service.

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!

This was a great tool for new and old Netgalley users! I don’t use some of the platforms because, well… I’m old and a teacher so I don’t want any media out there that my students can see!
Thank you to We Are Bookish and Netgalley for this guide!

A nicely done guide book on the media, however I would have expected more.

Perhaps because the content was not anything new, but the information you get from this guide is quite universal and basically what you learn right away when starting to use different medias!

Still nice for those who consider starting to use them!

This was good basic information for someone who is just starting out on social media. It wasn’t anything new or earth shattering- but good solid advice.

I just started using social media, mainly Instagram, to post reviews of books in September of 2024. I honestly had no idea what I was doing and kept wondering why I wasn't making any progress in terms of my follower count. This handbook, while short, is incredibly informative and easy to follow. The graphics summarize everything in a concise way, and I really appreciate that I can get all the information at a glance. I am excited to use the advice and tips mentioned in order to grow my account!

For someone who is just starting out in the bookish social media world, this is a really good resource! I felt that the information was a tad redundant if you are following a bunch of bookish accounts and also get Netgalley's newsletter as much of the information is the same. That being said, having the information in one spot is helpful!

This is an excellent guidebook. I really wish I had this in the beginning of my journey with Netgalley. I recommend this if you've been thinking about starting using Netgalley.

Thank you NetGalley for this great resource! This is going to help with my bookstagram and reviews so much. I have never bookmarked so many pages. I love all the links to your blog posts with even more information. I can’t wait to plan out growing my platforms.
