Reviews

[Joy E. Rancatore]

This book was a great review for me since I've already read other books on writing books and on having them published and on writing proposals. It's a quick and easy read that covers all the bases for aspiring writers. I especially appreciated the information on tax deductions and on what to look for and expect in a contract. The suggestions for combating writer's block are great as are all the details on working through revisions. In the back of the book the authors included lists of resources, helpful web sites and contact info for various writers' organizations--a great resource for all aspiring and professional writers!

(Note: ebook was obtained as part of a bundle and thus not something I consciously selected)

Pros: there are some good tips in there about general author life. I particularly enjoyed the tip about storing ideas on flashcards and have incorporated that into my writing process.

Cons: this book was written in 2004. It mentions typewriters and still advises one to snail mail copies of books (Do editors even take paper copies anymore?)

Read it if you have it, but in 2025, there's no reason to seek it out as you can find much of the same information online.

This one was better than the other Everything Guide I read about Book Publishing, but it was still pretty basic. Not a bad place to start for a beginner.

This book was just okay. My book proposal is about 50% done so some of the information wasn't really helpful (I'd already done most of the research). I also skipped the parts that didn't apply to me (I was researching memoir/nonfiction proposals only).

[Fredrick Danysh]

Writing a book is the first step. If one wants to be published there are procedures to follow. This guide addresses agents and their roles with authors and publishers as well as giving tips for writers.

[Mercedes Diane]

This book is full of really great tips. I'm learning a lot and feeling like I can finally put a plan into action.

[Chelsea DeVries]

This book was very informative because it covered both fiction and nonfiction.

[Grant Sawyer]

This book is definitely a good read. It's very thorough as far as dealing with publishers,editors,agents, and the entire writing process. You can't go wrong with this one.
