"NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook" stands out by offering a practical and comprehensive guide specifically tailored to book enthusiasts who want to enhance their online presence. While many social media books focus on general strategies, this handbook is different because it targets the literary community. This makes the tips and advice more relevant and applicable, helping readers maximize their impact on platforms like Bookstagram and BookTok.

The strengths are evident: for those looking to expand their influence, the platform-specific sections serve as a valuable guide, helping readers understand the nuances and explore what works best on each network. Additionally, the inclusion of tips on maintaining authenticity and avoiding common pitfalls makes it a useful resource, offering practical ways to grow without compromising the quality of one’s content.

However, there are areas where the handbook could be more robust. While it covers major platforms, it doesn't delve deeply into emerging networks or alternative strategies that could be beneficial for more niche communities. Some readers might also find certain sections too basic if they're already experienced social media users. Nonetheless, the book remains a handy starting point for anyone in the literary world who wants to fine-tune their social media skills.

This handy guide breaks down the seemingly insurmountable task of building a following on social media and breaks it into small, realistic and practical steps.

The design and colour scheme are stunning and I like the particular attention given to accessibility.

Really useful guide!

This handbook is quite helpful if you just started your account and not sure what to do.

I use Instagram so I liked the tips that were given there but I might also make a blog so that was useful too!

Great tips. Very helpful for the novice booktoker trying to write reviews and gain more ARC acceptance. Easy to follow guide and I like the printable version.

Good information for starting out their bookish social accounts. Most of this information isn't super new to me, but it was reassuring to know I am still up to date on trends as they evolve often. I did 0ick up some tips that were good reminders, like using publisher provided hashtags. I'm grateful for the reminders to others not to tag authors in anything other than a 5 star review.

Thank you Net Galley for providing this useful Social Media guide. The format was user friendly and easy to follow.
I liked the comprehensive information on each social site with descriptions on what user style each would be most useful for. 10/10 recommend!

This book was extremely helpful and informative. Thank you to NetGalley for providing this guide. I am sure the tips in it will be very useful.
