Reviews

[Sandra Eidson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of good advice in this book for all authors. I gave it a four- star rating for that reason alone. I really found it interesting the various reasons books could get rejected or require a rewrite. I also found some of the info on literary agents and how they should work for me as an author. The key word being I hire one and they are my employee hired to promote my books to others. I fired the person I hired based on the information in here as they had not done even one thing they were hired to do for me. Thanks for the boost to my knowledge and the reason my pocketbook is now fuller.
