Is there any Tips you would like to shear with all of us.

Okay so I once had a long thing I would post of tips, but I don't know if anyone read it so I'll do some short ones.
1) If you're in the Green Room, you can sort by Oldest first. If you can get those out, you might get more points and you're less likely to have someone also reviewing so yours won't count as a Green Room review.
2) Try not to focus on nit-picks. These are time consuming and minimally helpful to the author. Focus on "big picture" things-how did you feel about the plot and characters? In a poem, think about the meaning, the structure, the imagery and metaphors used.
3) Try to balance critique and praise. Explain why you liked/didn't like something.
4) Reviewing Writers More Skilled Than You There's tons of great articles on reviewing in the Knowledge Base, but this one is striking because it reminds me...you don't have to fix everything. Sometimes you might see something of and not have an immediate solution, and that's okay.
The YWS Reviewing Dictionary Lots of great articles and tips here!
