The NetGalley Book Advocate Toolkit is super helpful if you are new to being a book reviewer. I really appreicated the tips about what publisher's look for in your profile, how to update it and why you should update it every couple months. The details around how to write a book review, even if you choose to DNF was also super helpful. I've been doing this for about a year now and I still learned a few new things after reading this! I have this saved on my computer so I can reference it often and highly recommend to anyone looking for some extra tips and tricks as you navigate your book reviewing journey on NetGalley!
