📝 Your guide to finding book influencers for your brand
There are three ways for finding influencers in your niche: searching on Google, searching manually on social media, or using an influencer search tool. Let’s go through each of these!
1. Finding book review bloggers on Google
The simplest way to find book bloggers is to search on Google – you probably have already tried it!
The more specific you are with your keywords, the more accurate bloggers you will find. For example, you can search for keywords like “book bloggers”, “book review bloggers” and “book blogs” and you will find a bunch of lists with the best book blogs.
2. Finding book worms on Instagram
On social media, you can find book instagrammers (bookgrammers) by searching by keywords and hashtags. Here are some that you could check:
▸ keywords like “bookstagram”, “book blogger” and “book reviews”
▸ hashtags like #bookblogger(s), #bookgram, #bookstagram, #bookgrammer(s), #bookannotation(s), #readstagram, #bookreview(s), #bookreviewer, #bookrecommendation, and #currentlyreading.
P. S. If you’re looking for local influencers, make sure to check the keywords and hashtags in the local language.
Once you’ve found a creator that you really like, you can check profiles that are similar to theirs. For that, click on the little 🔽 button next to the “Message” button on their profile when on mobile or the little arrow button next to “Follow” when on desktop. That way, you will see a list of similar bookgrammers you might want to work with!

3. Finding booktok influencers – book influencers on TikTok
In general, finding TikTok influencers works the same way: you can search by keywords and hashtags.
When you’re on the phone, you can also set filters for the search. If you’re looking for influencers, select “Users” in the top menu – and use the filters to see profiles with over 10,000 or 100,000 followers. You can also set the profile type to “verified” to see celebrities and international companies. On desktop, the filtering options are limited.

4. Using influencer search tools
As finding the right influencers manually is terribly time-consuming, we recommend using an influencer search tool – such as Promoty! Promoty gives you access to our global database with over 19 milliuon influencer accountss. By using filters, you can find the local book influencers whose audience overlaps with your target group.
If you’re looking for book influencers, you can try out the following filters:
▸ keywords in bio – such as “bookgram”;
▸ hashtags related to #bookblogger or popular book series;
▸ mentions (see who has mentioned your brand or a competitor)
Additionally, you can narrow your search by the influencer’s followers, age, interests, and other criteria. For example, if your brand’s target audience is 25-34 yo women, set the Audience filters accordingly. That helps you to find exactly the right influencers for your brand 🤍
