It's cute -- I wasn't aware we had to review this if we requested it so I'm not sure how substantive my review will be. In any case, I liked the layout and design, and I think it had very helpful tips for reviewers who are looking for ways to make reviews more substantive and engaging.

The "NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit" summarizes key points and guidelines reviewers may look at to understand how to set up a successful NetGalley profile and begin reviewing books.

Content: I found the content to be helpful, easy to understand, and accessible. The Do's and Don't's pages were incredibly helpful to me when creating my NetGalley profile. Reading the guidelines is vital to easing your way into the NetGalley community.

Key Audience: If you're not familiar with NetGalley and the reviewing process but wish to create a solid profile and learn to organize yourself in order to achieve your reading/reviewing goals, this is the perfect 101 guide to stay on track and learn more about what NetGalley has to offer.

Visuals: The graphics and images utilized on the Toolkit enhanced my reading experience by organizing key information in easy-to-read slides. The pages were colorful and visually appealing. I enjoyed the pastel coloring scale throughout the book. Some tips were illustrated on post-it notes (which I enjoyed) and made me chuckle with their content from time to time.

Concluding thoughts: If you're new to NetGalley, read it! The tips are actually helpful. I wrote some of their tips down and will use them in the future.
