I Love this! super useful, great tips, easy to understand and easy to follow and make a more creative and good post

Very informative! Great for new bookstagramers and booktokers! A lot of great information that I will be using to help build my platform. Thank you for this.

This was good basic information for someone who is just starting out on social media. It wasn’t anything new or earth shattering- but good solid advice.

I just started using social media, mainly Instagram, to post reviews of books in September of 2024. I honestly had no idea what I was doing and kept wondering why I wasn't making any progress in terms of my follower count. This handbook, while short, is incredibly informative and easy to follow. The graphics summarize everything in a concise way, and I really appreciate that I can get all the information at a glance. I am excited to use the advice and tips mentioned in order to grow my account!

For someone who is just starting out in the bookish social media world, this is a really good resource! I felt that the information was a tad redundant if you are following a bunch of bookish accounts and also get Netgalley's newsletter as much of the information is the same. That being said, having the information in one spot is helpful!

This is an excellent guidebook. I really wish I had this in the beginning of my journey with Netgalley. I recommend this if you've been thinking about starting using Netgalley.

Thank you NetGalley for this great resource! This is going to help with my bookstagram and reviews so much. I have never bookmarked so many pages. I love all the links to your blog posts with even more information. I can’t wait to plan out growing my platforms.

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!

This had a lot of useful information that could be extremely helpful to someone starting out on social media!

This was a great handbook for those who need a little extra bit of insight into how to navigate book reviews. A great resource
for those just starting their blogging journey.

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 resource for reviewers. Updated and revised too. Great for those who are new or wanting a refresher.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing this useful resource! The information shared will definitely help me to improve my presence and engagement on Bookstagram.

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 really helpful guide. I learned a lot about how to effectively share books on social media.

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

Excellent resource! I wish I had found this when I first signed up for NetGalley. I’ve already taken a few steps to improve my presence and reviewing skills and look forward to implementing more!

This is a very helpful resource. I printed a copy of it so it will be handy for me to use as I post reviews on social media platforms.

very good very helpful!! This was a good guide for using book social media. I enjoyed reading this! I found the writing to be very comprehensive and easy to understand.
