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.

The Social Media Handbook is a perfect tool for reviewers just starting out, or those that need tips and tricks to help grow their audience! Having stepped away from reviewing for 3 years, reading this was a great way to catch up on how social media has changed and grown since I last wrote my blog. Highly recommend!

An informative guide for aspiring bookstagrammers like myself. I've been wanting to create a bookstagram or a book blog for years now, and I'm considering doing it this year. This guide has helped me understand a little more about what I need to do.

Thank you To NetGalley and Bookish. So glad they provide such helpful tips and tricks to their users. The handbook showcased multiple ways in which an avid reader who's fairly new to reviewing, like myself, or even a seasoned reviewer can utilize social media to showcase new books and authors. I think the information was really helpful in giving a better understanding of how to be able to utilize the different platforms available to build your audience as well as get an audience engaged with your book posts. Super helpful.

This NetGalley information packet was incredibly helpful for writing my reviews. Thank you for sharing!

The Social Media Handbook was an easy read with “use now” tips + will serve as a great reference later. The information was well organized, accessible, and got straight to the point. When you want to dig deeper, you can link to the other resources provided. I was happy that the content was broken up and included suggestions specific to several (types) of social media.

I so appreciated NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook by We Are Bookish. I was thrilled to encounter the NetGalley titles, because, as a newbie here, there is a lot of information to process.

It gives a global overview on having a book related social media. The handbook offers a robust set of tips as well as alot of things that you will observe being thrown around posts on instagram and tiktok with advice for readers that want to dive into the social media. It is a good starting point but there is nothing revolutionary about the handbook.

Super helpful for someone who is trying to get into reviewing books for social media! I know I have been trying to get better in how I review and rate my netgalley reads and this guide has shown me how to be more effective.

Really informative and helpful.
I have learnt a few tips for Instagram and considered how to be more accessible to users.

As someone who's just getting my Bookstagram journey started, this was a super helpful guide on things that I've been learning as I've progressed through, and I appreciate the time put into sharing this info!

A great resource for starting out as a reviewer with really good tips to use as a sort of social media post checklist before hitting post to make sure that everything is in order.

Great information that will be very useful and beneficial. Thank you for putting this together! I really enjoyed the section on book review tips and what to include with those.

Filled with tons of tips and tricks not only for sharing bookish content, but also for creating a presence on numerous social media websites.

Great! Gave me the kickstart i needed to post reviews on netgalley, otherwise I would have been a bit lost. Thanks for putting this informative piece together for us to reference!

I really enjoyed that NetGalley made social media simple for its readers. It gave examples across platforms and examples for multiple roles a person may hold. The content was great and I recommend it for a starting point on your journey on the internet.

A brief guide to starting and managing a social media presence promoting books. To be honest, I didn't find it all that helpful. I think it's geared to complete novices, and if I'd never done or read anything about generating content for social media it probably would have helped me.. There is also a section for BookTok and Bookstagram. I use neither, and don't plan to start, but if I do, I will return to this handbook.

I haven’t yet decided whether I’m going to proceed with starting a Bookstagram account. I had planned to, and then became very overwhelmed about where to begin! This booklet has helped me to organise my thoughts and acts as a very useful step-by-step guide. If I do go ahead, I know that this will be invaluable.

Thankyou to We Are Bookish for providing this resource.

This book promotion guide offers a clear overview of each social media platform along with tips for getting started. It helps you choose what media might suit your style as an author and mentions useful sites for follow-through. Strategic planning, book review tips and helpful resources are mentioned. I might have liked more details but as a short, easily readable introductory guide to social media, this works well. Easy to follow with precise explanations, NetGalley’s Social Media Guide belongs on your bookshelves.

A really helpful starting guide to the basics of social media! Would recommend this to anyone starting out. It covers so much detail in such a short amount of space and is very insightful.
