Great starting point for anyone setting up their online presence. I like how the handbook discusses several social media platforms. This will come in handy as I start to expand to other platforms. Thank you NetGalley!

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this really useful guide! Overall, this is a clear and concise guide to different bookish social media platforms that includes a wide range of information and an appropriate level of detail. It is certainly a great resource for those newer to the book advocate community!

I really appreciated the advice on how to streamline content across platforms and the fact that review platforms like Goodreads and StoryGraph were able included alongside broader social media platforms. I am a regular Canva user but I think the introduction included in the guide is pitched at a good level and liked the fact there was a link to more information and guidance. The dos and don’ts (including the very important instruction not to tag authors in negative reviews!) were sensible and well presented.

I’d suggest two improvements to the guide which, for me, would have made it five stars:
- I think the guide could have discussed how intstagram is trending towards more video content and provided advice / encouragement for those focused on photos and captions
- NetGalley operates across multiple jurisdictions, but guidance about ad disclosures only addresses US regulations… requirements may be similar but a page giving guidance per operating region (including UK) would have been very helpful!

Great little guide! It’s really quite helpful if you’re just starting out on social media.
Thank you for providing this!

This is such a great primer for book reviewers on social media. I'm impressed with the visual way this information is presented as well as the breadth of the information covered.

Thank you NetGalley for this handbook. It is comprehensive and I will definitely be using the tips and checklists.

I love those guides, they are always so helpful. Thank you for that, I will definetly use some of those tips soon!

A really nice, straightforward collection of advice on using social media for bookish content. I liked that the content was really easy to understand, structured I'm distinct categories and contained links to articles with even more information in. Definitely great as a refresher for all current bookstagrammers, booktokers etc and for anyone thinking of starting a new account on a particular platform.

Such a helpful guide to using social media as a book reviewer. Newbies, especially, will find the content valuable. Highly recommended!

I have been struggling with whether or not to reactive my Bookstagram, and this handbook helped me see ways I can feel more successful utilizing Booksta/Amazon/Goodreads together.

Helpful tips and tricks for social media interaction! Thanks NetGalley for the free book to help my social media presence a bit.

Thank you, Netgalley 🩵

Social media is so important in our current times, so this is an excellent tool for us .

This guide provides really helpful tips on how to improve your book reviews and presence on social media surrounding books. I learned a lot about how you could incorporate canva graphics into your posts. This is helpful for anyone who wants to grow their following and online presence (and hopefully get more ARCs!)

This Social Media Handbook is a great introduction to the online book community and the different social media platforms which are available. I thought the tips given would be perfect for people just starting out online and deciding which social media to use. I liked that this guide explains how to adapt your review to best suit the different platforms and gives examples of software to use to help along the way such as Canva.

I will say that none of these tips were groundbreaking so if you are already established online I don't think you will learn anything new from this handbook however it's a solid reminder of the basics and contains links to some useful resources including the NetGalley Knowledge base.

Overall I think this is a great resource particularly for those looking to break into the online book community.

Thank you for this super handy guide. There are plenty of tips. I will definitely be using some of these now going forward!

This is really really helpful if you're just starting out on social media! I wish I'd had this when I just started out as it would have made everything a whole lot easier lol

I LOVE that it gives some etiquette tips like not tagging authors in bad reviews online. Some people genuinely don't realize how frowned upon that is until someone points it out. There are a lot of other really helpful notes and pictures.

It's also got some tips that helps on taking photos that are especially helpful for those who don't have a creative side.

Overall very accessible tips that will no doubt help out those who are thinking of opening up a social media Book focused page.

Well done!

This was so informative and gave some really helpful tips about how to tailor and grow my Bookstagram. Bookstagram has been a hobby of mine for over a year, but my follower count has grown stagnant. I'm hopeful that some of these tips will help me to start growing my account again.
