If you're a bookish content creator or want to become one, this social media handbook is an amazing tool to use. It contains tons of great information to help you start an account on major social media platforms. Plus, it includes how to photograph, review tips, Canva tips, and so much more. I wish I knew about this handbook when I started my Bookstagram account a few months ago. It would have helped me tremendously to have all this information in one place. So I definitely recommend for new bookish content creators.

Great little Social Media Handbook for those just starting out.

It really helped with ideas and what to focus on and was just the nudge I needed to get me starting my own Bookstagram and restarting my Book Blog back up.

It was a quick read but very informative.

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing this short resource book for free to your readers and reviewers. (If you'd like to read this, you can download a copy directly on NetGalley)

A cute and straightforward guide to Social media from the perspective of helping future book influencers. Even though this is for 2024, it is rather up to date with changes in the Social landscape (like including Twitter as X).

This Handbook was both helpful and visually appealing!

As a long-time book lover, short-time book reviewer, having a handbook to help guide my social media presence was imperative. There were tips and tricks included that I had never even considered. Some of the platform-specific information wasn't relevant to me as I focus on Instagram and GoodReads, but I'm still glad the information was available so other reviewers can benefit.

I anticipate flipping through these pages a few more times as I work to find my unique review style. Thank you for providing this information for newbies like me!

I recommend reading this if you’re new to social media or just starting out with NetGalley. It’s concise, accessible, and provides practical advice for building your online presence.
I hope to see more guides like this in the future—perhaps a more advanced version for seasoned users? It would be great to see additional strategies for more experienced reviewers.

I don't currently use social media for reviews/book journalling. Although this is something I have been considering for a while, I found this book extremely helpful in planning what I want it to contain/be aswell as how to make it engaging for other people. I very much looking forward to using this to help follow up my future plans of becoming a content creator

Found this one helpful to help grow my bookstagram account and how to get the most of it.

Also gave me some ideas of other apps I can use to make content to share.

A helpful how-to for those who want to start growing a book focused social media presence. Specifically useful for NetGalley users but can be applied beyond those giving NetGalley reviews.
