This Handbook had lots of useful information that I think can be very beneficial to someone just getting into book reviewing or who simply wants to start up their own bookish social media account, myself definitely included!

Didn't read much new information, but a good starting point if you're pretty new to the social media thing in general!

This is an invaluable asset for anyone who reviews books. I’ve enjoyed reading and reviewing for some years but never had any formal guidance. I just write as I feel and hope my thoughts will help other potential buyers. This reference guide helps you to structure your thoughts and it’s also designed to ensure you get the widest audience from a wide range of social media platforms. I don’t use many social media sites, but this book has encouraged me to consider adding a couple for the purpose of posting reviews. I feel confident I’ll be able to maximise the potential. A really useful guide for newbie and seasoned reviewer alike.

Great handbook to keep and refer to to keep your posts fresh and on point. It covers the major social media platforms, general do's and don't's, tips for posting and photos, links and info about the NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit and Shelp Application. This Handbook is easy to read with many bulleted lists to read or skim as you need. If you want to begin your book reviewing journey or brush up on the latest trends, this is a great resource.

This is a good beginners guide, I think if you are already doing it then you won't get too much out of it.

This toolkit is very informative and helpful for building a new profile on social media. It provides media content tips on what to do and what not to do when posting reviews. I will start following these tips and hopefully create more content for my social media. Thanks, NetGalley!

Incredibly accessible in terms of relaying information. I would consider this one of the better handbooks I’ve read through NetGalley.

Appreciated this little free resource! It had a couple good tips that I'll keep in mind. I'm confused as to why it counts towards my review rating though....

Thanks for this! It's so nice to have something that I can use as a guide to create content as well as push me through my TBR. I love reading ARCs but it can sometimes get overwhelming knowing how to engage with an audience in regard to writing reviews. Tips are always helpful.

I enjoyed this helpful guide. The bullet format, and infographics made it inviting and an easy read. This is very helpful for those starting out as new book reviewers (like me), and learning the Do's and Don'ts of the Bookstagram world. Thank you NetGalley for this free guide.
