Hello there and welcome to The Turndog Review: the books I read, reviewed.
I aren’t a professional critic, instead all I offer is my honest opinion into everything I read. However, I do this with a difference, as I don’t only offer my personal views on the Writing, Plot, and Story, but also the Book Cover, Book Marketing, and Author Website.
We live in a modern world where being a writer is different to years gone by, and I feel the whole experience of the book matters. This covers everything from...more

Every writer ponders the eternal question, to self-publish or not. If you're one of those people, you've probably already put a lot of time researching, questioning, and evaluating that information. Well, don't make that all-important decision before giving careful consideration to this book by author Dara M. Beevas.
First of all, we're reminded that just because we can do something, doesn't necessitate our doing it. Especially, if we haven't thoroughly prepared to tackle the challenge with dedic...more

Secrets and solved mysteries on having success in self-publishing
One major difference in this self help book for those who are steeping into the current fad of self publishing is author Dara M. Beevas' approach to the writers who read her little golden book of information. This is not a step one step two step three how-to book, though Beevas does give specific information on various steps she considers important to teach. Instead, this is a book of motivation that informs the independent author...more

The publishing world is changing, in fact it’s changed, and will continue to change in the foreseeable future. And according to Dara M.

They say don't judge a book by its cover, but in this case, the content of The Indie Author Revolution is just as vibrant and engaging as my first impression of the cover had me assume. Dara offers all the advice that you would expect from a self-publishing authority, but the book is not bogged down with dry information. I loved the strong (and occasionally sassy!) first-person "I" and engaging interior design. After finishing this book, I felt so much more capable of participating in the self-p...more
In this age of self-publishing, here comes a book to help the independent author become successful. I tis filled with much information, from the through of going the self-publishing route to the editorial process (the author emphasizes the importance of hiring a professional to edit one’s book)., to designing the layout and cover to printing and marketing.
I found this book to very helpful and informative and will help anyone thinking off publishing their own book. And if you do it right, you oug...more

Her all-encompassing guide provides thorough information and checklists for authors at any stage in the publishing process. Furthermore, Beevas doesn't mince words or hold anything back--she gives all the industry secrets she can, at the same time helping authors get in the right mindset to self publish...more
I won this book through Good Reads. I haven't finished this book yet. I am interested in self publishing a book so I was very happy I won it. This book explains the ins and outs of self publishing. I didn't know there were different ways to self publish. I didn't understand which way was more expensive. Very happy I have a start with this book. Thanks.
Very informative. An excellent resource for anyone even contemplating self-publishing.
Packed with tons of information for new or aspiring authors. Also contains a thorough listing of resources that you can't place a price on if you're a "newbie" in the field.
It is a lot of good info, but sometimes its boring... But hey.. I am glad I read it!
