The NetGalley's Social Media Handbook by We Are Bookish provides a great introduction into getting started with the different available social media platforms for sharing NetGalley member's reviews. It also provides great guides and strategies for growing an audience and creating content for that audience with tips on engagement and organization. The visuals and graphics were very professional and clean. As a new Bookstagram user, I discovered many new facts in this handbook that I will be using immediately to help create better content for my followers as well as engage with them better using proper social media etiquette. I also learned a few key things to remember when posting NetGalley reviews to social media. I strongly recommend new and advanced social media book influencers alike to read through this simple but effective handbook.

A handy booklet that gives you insider info on growing your social media along side your NetGalley profile.

Very straight forward instructions, with eye catching graphics.

This handbook was a quick and easy read! For a handbook, I found the pages to be well-designed; not too many words to bore the reader, but still has the necessary information to help reviewers. I also liked the graphics used as those kept me engaged. It was nice to read and understand that you didn't have to use big social media platforms to be a reviewer, and that even having a Goodreads account is enough. It even gave me ideas on where else I can make book reviews, aside from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube.
All in all, a very informative handbook that is short and nicely made!

This is a very helpful and quick recap of how to best use social media to promote and review Netgalley reads.

If you are just starting out this will be really hellpful, as someone who has been doing this for a few years it didn't give me anything new.

A beginner guide for reviewers who want to start a social media account, either in instagram, X, Youtube, goodreads/storygraph or blogging platform. I enjoyed the tips for each platform but also the „how to“ share the reviews by keeping in mind the readers, publishers and the platform. Useful tips as always great job team of We are Bookish NetGalley.

This was helpful in learning a bit more about netgalley and how to write reviews for social media! Thank you!

Extremely helpful! Thank you for this valuable information. It really helped me how to use NetGalley and taught me more about social media posting.

As a new member to NetGalley, I found this content to be very helpful. Its concise and easy to digest and put into practice. I have appreciated all of the guides and assistance NetGalley has provided to help me be successful here.

Great guide for all socials, helpful tips to create accounts and not feel overwhelmed, also giving guidance on how to create and follow a posting schedule.

This was very helpful and informative. I am new to NetGalley and wanted to make sure I was doing everything correctly. This guide was very thorough especially if you are also new to Social Media.

I really enjoyed this book. It has a lot of good information for me as a beginner using Instagram for my book reviews. I plan to save this as a reference for the future. Thank you We are Bookish.

Nice little handbook by NetGalley for reviewers and content creators alike! I love how they include all platforms from Tiktok to Wordpress and Goodreads. The little do's and don'ts were a welcome bonus, along with all the tips added in between. Overall, it's a great tool for people navigating social media to post bookish content online and gain visibility.

The advice goes beyond just “post pretty pics” or “use the right hashtags.” It dives into the why and how behind making your content accessible, authentic, and professional. There’s help with planning your content calendar (because who doesn’t need a little calendar therapy?), photo and content creation, and smart ways to share your reviews across different platforms.

Thank you Netgalley and We Are Bookish.

This handbook is exactly what I didn’t know I needed! Whether you’re a brand-new book reviewer trying to find your voice online or a casual content creator looking to get more organized, this guide is the perfect little companion.

I loved how approachable it was—friendly, well-designed, and filled with practical tips you can actually use right away. From Bookstagram to TikTok to Goodreads, it covers all the major platforms with advice that doesn’t feel overwhelming or “corporate.” It’s written like a helpful friend guiding you through the basics, with reminders that your voice and comfort matter most.

I'm not sure what you want me to say about this book. I am already doing most of the things mentioned in this book due to having a bookstagram account for two years now. It would be great for someone just starting a new account.

This is a high-level social media guide for book reviewers, but beyond that broad audience, I'm not really sure who this is for. It seems too basic for people familiar with social media but doesn't provide enough detail for the newbie. It's only 35 pages and graphics heavy, so there isn't much content, but it does look nice. It offers a single page focused on each major platform and then tips on general topics, such as using images.

I think it's purpose is mostly to encourage people to post on social media, and I think it does a fine job at that.

This handbook is great for anyone starting to get into book reviewing on social media. It has an informative overview of the different platforms available, and the bookish communities on these platforms. It also has some very useful information about how you should be posting reviews on social media (e.g. review courtesy, disclosing ARCs, how to take eye catching photos).

As someone who’s always looking for ways to grow and connect authentically on social media, this book was a game changer. breaks down strategies for building an audience in a way that actually makes sense—no confusing jargon, just practical steps you can start applying right away.
