Easy to read, fun, and informative. I'll certainly ly be using these tips for my feeds! As a newbie to the bookish world I'm sure this guide will come in handy! I had no idea there were so many publisher asks! Thanks

NetGalley's Social Media Handbook offers a comprehensive yet concise guide to posting book reviews on social media.

The handbook offers advice and etiquette for posting on every social media site imaginable, from Goodreads to LinkedIn and everything in between. It also includes tips for how and when to show cover or interior art if you are reviewing the book before publication.

It features a short review of the best practices for reviewing books and a list of additional resources in the back.

The handbook was well-organized, easy to read and understand, and informative. Anyone reviewing books on the NetGalley platform will want to keep this helpful resource, along with NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit, close at hand when reviewing books.

Thank you to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for considering this book for my review via NetGalley. All opinions are my own. The fact that the book was given to me as an Advanced Reader Copy in no way influenced my review, and I am leaving it voluntarily.

I am planning on changing things up a little next year as the social side of my book blog kinda got left behind this year and I didn't concentrate on growing it at all. Some of the links were really useful too as I had missed the 13 review formats post. It has easy 1 page guides for each platform too.

Some things that surprised me, don't tag authors in anything but 5 star reviews. I usually tag them for 4/5 stars but not if lower.

Reviewing is hard and to appeal to the social media audience is harder. NetGalley's guide makes it so much easier with tips and tricks for things like Canva and how to write for a specific audience.

Thank you to NetGalley for the tips!

This is an extremely handy little book - I help with the social media for my library so this was a very useful tool for how to talk about books and get a wider reach. I'm pretty social media literate, so this was used as a good reminder.

Another very good one and another very berry cute design. Social media is not easy to predict or understand, I need all the tips I can get!

This is a very handy handbook if you want to start with a bookaccount. You can find lots of tips to create you account and how to interact on it.
If you already have an account, it is still informing to read. Although I didn't learn a lot of it. I knew most of the information, but it is a useful repetition.

As a book reviewer who not only reviews through here but also on my instagram, this is an excellent tool! It is a fantastic social media guide for professional and amateur book reviewers alike and for those of us who always want to improve the way we do things! I love how this guide has specific advice for each platform. A goldmine for beginners and some great reminders/new advice for those of us who have been doing this awhile! Thank you, We Are Bookish!

A nice little book to get you started with various social media sites. I like that, while they have larger tutorials, they keep it short and sweet with links to more information if you're interested. Definitely a book to check out if you're just getting started with reviewing books and want to spread your social media and internet presence. It's also good for those who might already have one social media review going and want to branch out to different types. Lots of good info about cross posting.
