I've had bookish social media for a few years now -- an active Bookstragram account, a currently inactive BookTube account, and more -- but it's always helpful to get a refresh on how best to share book reviews across platforms. This handbook offers dozens of tips about writing reviews, tailoring them to different social platforms and formats, and how to reach a wider audience. There are many ideas in here that I plan to start implementing right away to enhance my own accounts. This handbook is a must-read for anyone who shares book reviews, whether on social media, their own blog, Goodreads and The Storygraph, or retailer sites.

This is such a great resource, and it is beautifully laid out too! Thank you so much for this! I'll be putting these tips to good use.

This was very helpful as I try to expand my social media presence with books. I liked that it broke down all the sections and it was not just alot of words crowded on the page, which can make it overwhelming.

Even though I’ve had a Bookstagram for a year, there’s still so much I have to learn! I love having help and pointers as to what to include in my posts, etc

an incredibly helpful guide on sharing reviews, recommendations, and our love of books. it's a great way to help optimize engagement and build a community. will definitely implement these tips!

As always, We Are Bookish have produced a useful resource for reviewers whether they promote books received from Netgalley or not.
As an experienced reviewer that hasn't craqcked the social media market, I found the book instantly provided idea about how I could do things differently and network more successfully to build a more prominent community within the few sites I operate.
i would recommend this book to all book reviewers that love engaging other book lovers. It provides insights on specific platforms, highlighting the difference between them. It also gives pointers about how to use the Netgalley site, which is a resource useful in itself as Netgalley has a lot to offer. What makes this book the full five stars that it deserves is the concise and simple writing style it is afforded. The book is easy to understand whether you are 13, 30, or 60 and wanting to get started.
The key takeaway for me was the reminder that I didn't have to create the same reviews in a different way for each site, i.e. I could post a review on several sites, but to be mindful of the different audiences so that minor adjustments might be made. I also liked the advice about what type of images to post and how best to create them.

Thanks to NetGalley for this copy of "NetGalley's Social Media Handbook."
I appreciated this resource and will keep it handy for reference.
The Canva tutorial was great and the editing tools were very helpful. Accessibility tips were also very useful.
For some possible improvements, some graphics didn't load for me on the NetGalley app and were very hard to read.
The graphics were fine in Kindle but the links didn't open.

Love this handbook so much! It really helped me fine tune my social media content and gave me some great ideas for going forward.

5 stars .
ked everything, both the graphics and the guides.
I would love if there was a physical copy, I would definitely buy it for myself and someone else.

Helpful reminders and great graphics. I appreciate NetGalley producing and sharing these types of guides.

Great resource for starting or ramping up book reviews on social media. So many platforms out there, really helpful to sort the best to make the ,ost if your reviews.

Great handbook for complete beginners to social media. Wasn't very applicable to someone that has already been using social media for book reviews.

This document has been very helpful and given me so many tips about how to best showcase the wonderful books I'm reading. Highly recommend if you're looking to build an online presence in the bookish world!

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this ARC.
I quite enjoyed the simplicity of this guide and its wide range of resources. I will be implementing them in the future.

This was wonderful to help with ideas. I mostly review on instagram and appreciated the broad spectrum of what works well on multiple platforms. As a beginner in using social media for book reviews, I like how this was broken down. How to post, color schemes, audiobooks vs ebooks, and hashtags are some of the points. Most everything is in a dos or don’ts format for clear direction. Highly recommend as a beginner or going back to the basics for refreshers.

Netgalley's Social Media Handbook is an excellent guide for book reviewers. This handbook is a great resource, as there are platform specific tips throughout, which is very helpful as reviewers may utilize several social media platforms! The handbook is very informative for beginners and may be beneficial for seasoned reviewers as well. I'd recommend this to anyone getting started as a book reviewer.

This was so very helpful and I appreciate all of the information that was shared for us booklovers. I definitely recommend it for all of us in the book community.

I love that NetGalley puts together these wonderful toolkits to help make us successful. This is colorful, easy to read and understand and very helpful. I’m not sure how to review a toolkit, so I’ll just say, if you’re on NetGalley read this one.
