Wickedly Funny If You’re a Writer or Editor
As both a writer and editor, I tend to snap up any book I see at any of my favorite book review sites that have to do with writing. This is probably one of the more unusual ones I have read. Do you remember those choose-your-own-adventure stories from when you were a child? The author has organized this book like that, relating the story of a would-be first-time author as he or she works on the magnum opus, publishing, and publicizing it. This is very tongue-in-cheek, but it is certainly grounded in the typical mistakes (or mistaken thoughts, as I hope many don’t actually DO what our intrepid writer does here) that people make when they write a book. But certainly, the humor would not be for everyone. I did find a mistake or two with the page navigation, and there seemed to be one page that wasn't linked. But other than that, I found this to be a funny, snarky look at the ways the writing and publishing process can go wrong.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
