This is a great guide for both professional and amateur reviewers. I love that advice is broken up by social media types, and not just general advice for all socials. There’s a lot of helpful information, especially for a newbie like myself, but it never feels overwhelming. I can’t wait to put all this advice to use in my future reviews.

Thank you We Are Bookish for this resource! This guide comes with helpful tips for launching book accounts on social media! It's a very resourceful guide which covers basic and best strategies to follow to create content and for visibility and accessibility.

If you’re a book reviewer or influencer looking to grow your audience and maximize engagement, NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook is a must-read. This concise yet thorough guide covers platform-specific strategies for Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and more, offering actionable tips on content creation, audience interaction, and best practices for book promotion.
What stands out is its practical approach—real-world examples, content planning advice, and insights on leveraging NetGalley widgets effectively.

That said, the platform-specific breakdowns and algorithm insights make it a valuable tool for anyone looking to optimize their bookish social media presence.

We Are Bookish has done it again! This handbook is outstandingly amazing and made easy to understand everything to navigate about posting reviews on social media. Definitely recommend this to everyone!

Thank you Netgalley for the arc and the wonderful resource.
This is a great guide for starting social media, but does provide a lot of basic information. I think it is targeted at people are new to social media and looking for a place to start rather then people who have already developed a following and creator voice. Saying that, I do think it gives people a starting point that many people need to push them.
Beyond that, I love the aesthetic and look of the PDF; it was easy to read and flowed nicely. The graphics were really cute and I liked that they provided examples.
Overall, a really good resource for beginners for online bookish spaces.
