I really want to utilise social media for my reviews but I have a demanding day job. This book has given me some really great hints and tips that will hopefully help me with the limited time I have. Thanks!

Loved this quick and to-the-point Social Media Handbook by the We Are Bookish team. Solid info, and as someone with marketing experience, let me say this is well put together! The information is solid and easy to implement. The goal for any NetGalley reviewer is to expand their reach from reviewing on a consumer platform like Amazon to social media platforms like Instagram or, in my case, Bluesky. The handbook also makes it a priority to let reviewers know they can utilize their social media profiles to maximize the reach of the reviews, which is a win-win for both authors and readers. Overall, this is a nice, comprehensive handbook that can be read in one sitting, but is invaluable for your role as a bookish book reviewer.

This was definitely a Social Media (New Creator Starter Pack) and it was helpful. I was looking for Does and Don't of posting ARC reviews on socials, and it was helpful. Do not share any quotes, since this isn't the final publication. I appreciate this being a resource being available.

Would be very helpful for very new people who don't know anything about the Book Social Media scene and want to give into it.

This is a very well-put together and thought out social media handbook. As someone who was worked in publicity and marketing for individuals as well as brands, it makes me wish I'd designed something similar to give to my clients about their industries! The content is reasonably up-to-date, as there is no mention of Bluesky, but Substack is listed. With the constant change in the social landscape especially micro communities like book influencing, this isn't really a fault, as many platforms like Bluesky are still emerging in form and function.

I am impressed with how evergreen the advice they do give on social medias like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube is. One mistake I've seen in guides like this is hyper-focusing on algorithm and trend advice that quickly grows stale and unusable. The individual checklist for each platform is helpful in its overview suggestions, keeping them fresh and allowing the user to research the best way to implement them with current trends. It also does a good job of suggesting both content differentiation for platforms and ways to make that content mutli-use.

Really, there's a surprising amount of depth here delivered with a graphic style that allows for easy visual digestion of all the information whether its about the retail space or photo tips. As I work to venture out into social media I know I'll come back to this for all my book content questions.

I am still up in the air if I want to increase my social media presence when it comes to reviewing books (starting a youtube channel/bookstagram). This handbook makes it easy and has a lot of tips and tricks. Really happy I have this to use for a reference when I decide to make that leap into being a book influencer.

As someone who has set up their own bookish social media accounts recently, this was a useful guide to gather tips and tricks on how to best utilise each platform. I was able to navigate to the relevant platforms to me and take what was needed. There are visual examples alongside the written tips which is great to see too.

A great handbook for different social media platforms. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to social media this is a great book to get you started or keep you going. Will most definitely be using this as a guide for my BookTok account!

This has helped me so much to set up my booktok. This is a good book to get in to reviewing of books and social media account.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of NetGalley, offering essential insights for newcomers. It serves as the perfect introduction to navigating the platform.

From platform overviews to a detailed list of dos and don'ts for each, along with guidance on how to effectively review and post reviews, this booklet offers a compact yet thorough overview.

However, reading it on the NetGalley Android app was occasionally disrupted by glitches affecting headlines and designs, though the main text remained mostly readable. Whether the issue lies with the app or the document itself isn't clear, but it's worth noting this was unique among my digital reads.

Overall, despite these technical hiccups, I rate it four stars because the content remained accessible and highly beneficial.

Great tips, I'm going to be referring back to this constantly. I've been toying with the idea of starting a bookstagram account purely so this is so helpful.

NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook is a guide that was created to help readers & reviewers create and maintain bookish social media pages. Within this guide NetGalley offers advice tailored to each individual social media brand (which I loved)!

This was such a helpful resource! I have been meaning to utilize my bookstagram for quite awhile now and this made the creation process seem more doable and less daunting!

I recommend this guide to readers that are interested in starting social media pages and aren’t sure where to start & are interested in receiving advice on navigating the social media sphere!

As I am continuing to grow my love for reading I have begun to consider possibly joining the "BookTok" community and this guide definitely gave me some great insight into where to even begin that journey!

Social media is confusing and sometimes I just want a guide on what to do. This is that guide for all book related social media. It's really helped me refine what my social media content will be and how to best utilize it to share my love of books.

This handbook provides a helpful guide on creating bookish content by explaining how the most popular platforms work, with tips and tricks that are specifically catered to each one. It also mentions and presents useful information related to how accounts on these platforms could be set up.

Despite the abundance of information related to content creating, each page is the perfect combination of short and sweet. I felt that the content tips section was the most useful to me. I’d always struggled with figuring out how to even start with creating bookish related content. However, with the information in this handbook, I have a much better idea.

I believe that any bookish content creator, brand new or seasoned, could benefit from reading this handbook. It has a bunch of useful information that I think could help anyone looking to start or even those who just want to better their preexisting account.

A really simple and straightforward guide to using social media to review books. It provides short no nonsense tips and is formatted in on engaging snappy backgrounds.

A great tool for all reviewers!

This book delivered exactly what the title promised—an informative guide for anyone starting out in the book world on social media. It clearly breaks down each platform and offers helpful tips tailored to each one.

Both informative and helpful ... to newbies and to those who have been around for years. I'm grateful for the sharing of information. Even after the four years I've been with NetGalley, I still appreciate it when things are laid out clearly!

I'm new to NetGalley and was overthinking how to share my book feedback/content on social media. NetGalley's Social Media Handbook shut all of that down. This stopped the overthinking and gave solid tips on how to share my love of books on social without doing too much. The best advice was to be yourself, share your natural personality. In a social world that can feel unauthentic, this was the perfect reminder to bring YOU to the table. You can be great at this without spending a ton of money. Bonus: The tips are broken down by social platforms, I've been set up for success.

The handbook had fantastic information for me to use to get my social media profiles up. Everything was clear and easy to find when I was looking something specific up.

thank you for the handbook. I work in social media (as a journalist) and thought I knew everything but still reading the e-handbook helped me get some more insights into booktok/bookstagram/booktube/…
i will definitely try to incorporate what new things I learned.
