A very well organised and engaging social media handbook provided by NetGalley.

I often struggle with handbooks, particularly as they often contain mountains of unnecessary information and seemingly endless paragraphs of instructional material. This handbook however only presents succinct, well set out and engaging information for the reader. I especially found the bookstagram content useful as my social media of choice. Flew through all 25 pages with ease. Highly recommend as a starting point for those wanting to increase their social media engagement.

Thank you NetGalley for the resource.

This has some excellent pointers! I'm not comfortable with social media due to my age. This book puts it in terms I'm able to understand and appreciate. Thank you for the help.

I love this handbook and am thankful for any resource that gives me tips to improve my content.
This is also a book that you can refer back to on and off. It would be great if it auto updated as things on Socials change so frequently.

This is a very useful guide for getting started on NetGalley. I am new to the bookstagram world, and recently posted my first NetGalley review to Instagram and Goodreads. This guide contains a specific section for bookstagram which includes suggestions for equipment, editing tools, introductions, and engagement. I appreciate the simplified Dos and Donts in each section. Thank you for providing an informative guide on promoting NetGalley books via social media!

I wish I had something like this when I first started out on Bookstagram! It's a really good introduction to using bookish social media across platforms. Information is up to date too, realistic, and considers accessibility too. It also covers netiquette, so with this there is no excuse not to get chatting about books!

I didn't realize We Are Bookish had so many different tools and kits available - I was so excited to stumble across more of them today! This handbook actually has tons of helpful tips and info that would definitely help anyone that is just getting started or someone who has been on social media for a while. I only utilize certain platforms but this handbook jumps into just about all the big ones which is appreciated! I have been on bookstagram in particular for a while but as I am getting more involved with arc reviewing and joining publisher teams in some capacity, having a refresher or some important tips was so helpful. A trending topic lately has been the FTC gifted/review copy disclosure for US readers which a lot of newer reviewers don't seem to know. Long review short, this handbook was well put together, helpful, and a great resource for new and old social users!
