I was hoping for some more in depth details regarding certain platforms but overall it’s a worthwhile guide if you’re starting out with NetGalley or are new to social media.

NetGalley's Social Media Handbook by We Are Bookish is a solid informational guide with plenty of useful tips, especially if you're just starting out. It’s definitely geared more toward beginners, offering basic strategies and advice on building your social media presence as a book lover or reviewer. While it didn’t dive as deep as I’d hoped in some areas, it’s still a handy resource with practical takeaways for anyone looking to improve their online engagement. Overall, it’s a useful guide but may leave more experienced users wanting a bit more depth.

Ooh this is definitely something that I can use to plan my content!! Thank you Netgalley!!
Also you should have seen my planning before this guide. It was absolute chaos, as in like deadlines written in three different planners and on my phone. My ADHD brain is now extremely happy. Also its very colourful!!

Great resource! I’ve been debating to start using social media for reviewing and have been on the fence. This book helps with most of the research and tips for beginners. I feel a bit more confident and might decide to start 🤩.

Thank you to the author, We are Bookish, and NetGalley for this e-ARC.

A great social media guide for professional and amateur book reviewers alike! I love how this guide has specific advice for each platform. A goldmine for beginners and some great reminders/new advice for those of us who have been doing this awhile! Thank you, We Are Bookish!

This has been really helpful to read as someone who wants to better their online presence in the reading community. There are some really great suggestions and tips, especially for increasing engagement. I was also under the impression that it was fine to tag authors in reviews that are 4 stars and above but I think I'll take the advice on tagging authors only in 5 star reviews from now on.

Perfect for beginners, NetGalley's Social Media Handbook focuses on creating a bookish account, posting and scheduling content and engaging your followers across various social media platforms with the specific features of each. I'm still new in posting bookish content and I was mainly looking for ways to elevate my Instagram account. Surprisingly, this guide was really just the bare bones basics but I did learn a few new things that I didn't know. There's also several helpful links to articles on the We Are Bookish blog for more in depth information which I highly recommend.

Most valuable to me personally were the photo tips and hashtag tips along with the accompanying blog links, providing insight into things I had never considered before. I'm struggling with Canva so I was hoping to find help there but I was disappointed I didn't find more. I found the section on book reviews less helpful as I feel my book reviewing skills are more advanced. I also found quite a bit of repetition in the advice given for the individual social media platforms even though this handbook was only 35 pages in length.

I still think this guide was well worth the read and I plan to save it for future reference to brush up on what I learned. It also sparked my interest in exploring the blog further. Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for offering this guide to social media!

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5 stars
