NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook offers tips ranging from how to start and grow your account on different platforms to what to keep in mind for book reviews on each specific platform. As someone who has started a Bookstagram but kind of let it fall off because I was overwhelmed with what exactly to post or how to write reviews, the tips provided here really helped take a good chunk of those fears away. I will definitely reference this Handbook when writing reviews on Goodreads or StoryGraph and when I do get back to posting on Bookstagram.

This was a helpful resource in starting my bookblr. I didn't think about things like content scheduling, but as someone who can be a sporadic reader at times due to my school schedule, it's a good idea to keep in mind. I love that they mentioned things like accessibility in captioning and using alt text.

This was a really good and informative book to learn more about how to use NetGalley! As someone very new to the site, and bookstagram/booktok/goodreads, this was extremely informative in how I can get closer to getting the arcs that I want. I really enjoyed the social media aspect of this book, and the way that it explained better ways to use storygraph and goodreads. A must-read for anyone looking to get into the book community- newcomers will definitely love it here! Thank you NetGalley!

This is a really great resource for readers just starting out in the bookish communities. Acting as a guide, talking you through all the steps to create your accounts with tips and even suggesting why certain social media platforms may be better than others for users.

Overall a great guide that is well put together and well planned in the design and content it offers the user.

As a new NetGalley member, this book was super informative for me. Not only was it full of useful advice and tips, they provided examples and links out to more resources. This is the ultimate reference guide for someone who is sharing their own book journeys on social media. It covers all the platforms and how to adjust your reviews/content to fit each platform’s audience and style.

The layout and presentation also made the book easy to navigate and more enjoyable to read versus having it formatted like a textbook! All book reviewers would find this resource so valuable.
