An excellent gift idea for back-to-school students. I borrowed this book from a library because I haven't focused enough lately on writing. In truth, it's aimed more for someone who needs to write something and doesn't want to, as opposed to someone looking to refocus on writing more often. Still, I had a 1000-word writing piece due soon, and the book did, in fact, help me to organize my thoughts and notes in three different ways, resulting in an easier time ultimately writing my piece.
I do read a few writing reference books a year. This is more geared toward beginners or intermediate writers than my usual preference, yet it still had something to teach me. I read the entire book to see how many other "knowledge gems" were hidden in the pages.
I enjoyed giving my ideal readers a name and identity. The book discusses the importance of sensory details. It leaves out scents or smells, as well as sight or visuals. It does separate touch and feel though. And includes the sensation of time passing.
The book was well edited. It gives the tip of reading one's work backward, last sentence to first, to find errors. Perhaps that's how the book's creator avoided making mistakes. The order the book was written made sense, as first we think, then we write, and last we revise. It is beneficial to writers of books, blogs, essays, emails, reports, and many things in between. ...more

The author pThis was a good book that was fast and easy to read. It offered up a lot of good ideas. I was especially impressed with the introduction. The author points out that just making an effort to write daily is the main point, not necessarily to finish this book in exactly 30 days.
There are fun writing exercises for each day. The suggested website (https://writingexercises.co.uk/random...) has sadly gone down. (These things happen. Writers can't spend their lives tracking down every website they've ever mentioned.)
Most of the ideas would only take a few minutes, but some would require large chunks of time. The cover is okay. The title makes sense. I learned a few new ideas on what to write. A worthwhile read. ...more

I flipped through a few pages of my friend's copy, ended up buying my own, and one as a gift for someone. It's that good. (I swear I wrote a review on it before. But, seeing as how I just thumbed through it again, I'll write it now. I read this book in Aug 2013, Feb 2014, Jan 2015, April 2016, April 2019, and April 2020.) I didn't know the author before I read this for the first time. After these many years, we do follow one another on social media.
If you've ever felt unable to write, despite knowing how to do it well, this is the book to help. It's interesting because it doesn't suggest that "writer's block is all in your head," but rather it proves that it is in the mind, and shows what part of the brain, and then tells you how to fix it. I love reading books on the writing craft, and I adore books that use science. I am exactly the target audience for this. I'd absolutely read more reference books from this author.
"The brain changes in response to what we pay attention to." That's a life-changing quote from the book, once you understand it. The section about the Saboteur really spoke to me.
This book is inspirational, meaningful, fun, entertaining, informative, has a strong author’s voice, and is clearly written by an authority on the subject. I learned a better way of thinking from this book. The title absolutely makes sense. This is beneficial to the writing community. ...more

That is, I wish I had read it a few years ago when I could have appreciated it more. I would recommend it to those who want to know more about this write tip. It is informative.

So, though the author and I do not know each other, we have participated in the same (very large) blog hop, and in the same book tour. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review of it.
I enjoyed the book very much. I have a reference book out on a related topic (Preparing to Write Settings That Feel Like Characters), so I know quite a bit about this genre. The A-Zs of Worldbuilding is a very well written and comprehensive book. It's informative and has a strong author voice. And, because of the subject matter, it even covers the importance of diversity. I would recommend it to any writer who is building a world from scratch, and also to those who are writing a story using a setting with which they are not very familiar. The book has a definition of Speculative Fiction because that is the core reader audience.
Some of my favorite parts include: "Is there any reason why a society would only construct square buildings, or even round ones?"
"The government's agenda is to spread their own versions of, well, everything. They will actively destroy knowledge that contradicts their agenda." That's so true. It really hit home for me. My parents told me stories like that, how much of the Lenni-Lenape history was taken away.
"Additionally, in some cultures, receiving a name is a rite of passage, and people may change their names at different points in their lives." This is another quote to which I could relate.
There's also a mention of how ridiculous revealing armor is, something which happens in fantasy, that made me want to high-five the author.
I read this book cover to cover, and will reread it, because it's well done and very useful. I feel the book is an excellent reference tool. I can use it when I'm writing fantasy stories. I feel that it's beneficial to the writing community. ...more

As an author with three books out, I'm of course drawn to the subject of sales and promoting my books. I found this book on Amazon while searching for something else. I would recommend it to my fellow published authors. This is the second book by Alex Foster that I've read. It's likely I will read more. The author seems especially gifted in research.
I do read several books on the craft of writing (including marketing) every year. This is is a genre of which I'm familiar with and appreciate. It is informative and entertaining, and written objectively.
I learned that I should be a "cash cow" in this market and that I need a "consistent, mixed marketing presence" to be one. The book listed sites I hadn't heard of, such as HUGEOrange, BookGorilla, and TheFussyLibrarian. I'm not sure how I feel about picking categories for one's book based on low popularity rather than most accurate. I see how it would up the odds of being a bestseller, but that sounds like cheating the system a bit.
The book cover with the book turning into sand and being swept away by the ocean is very eye-catching. (The one on Goodreads with the cartoon person cramming books into an open head is much funnier, but I prefer the other.) The title does match the contents of the book, but wow is that long!
It was an easy to read book and I do suggest that my fellow indie authors pick it up.
I read this book mostly because it was free and short. I found it while looking for something else. This book is called "Kindle Reviews: How to Get MoI read this book mostly because it was free and short. I found it while looking for something else. This book is called "Kindle Reviews: How to Get More Reviews for Your Kindle Book" on Amazon, but called "Book Reviews: How to get reviews quickly with the methods used by publishers and professional writers" on Goodreads. As I don't think the methods are "quick," I think the first title makes more sense. I can imagine, though, that some places wouldn't sell books with the words "Amazon" or "Kindle" in the title.
I liked the book far more than I expected I would. I would recommend it to fellow indie authors. I read several books a year on the craft of writing, so this book is in my wheelhouse. Also, I am a published indie author. I can actually use some of the information in this book.
The book cover on Amazon, the orange one with all the stars and the person in flannel giving two thumbs up, that cover caught my eye. The very plain blue cover on Goodreads with the "clip-art" star and open book, I don't really care for that cover.
It seemed to be edited well enough. I picked up a few more books by this author after reading this one. The book was informative, entertaining, and a fast-paced read. It was clearly written and easy to follow. I believe this author is passionate about helping fellow writers. The research includes what not to do, including not buying or trading for reviews that are likely to get deleted and might get you banned. I was honestly impressed by this little book. I do feel the author achieved the purpose of the book and gave a good amount of information.
Something I found interesting in the book is the order it claims people use to decide if they'll buy a book. (Cover, then title, then reviews under 3 stars, then the description.) I wonder how true that is, how big of a focus group was used to figure that out.
It makes an excellent point about how even bad reviews can sometimes lead to sales.
My favorite tip from the book is to always ask readers, "Will you leave a review?" Just like that, a direct yes or no. The book says that it gets the yes-people motivated to write a review. That makes sense to me.
I didn't really know what this book was going to be about. It was the book club's choice for this month, so I decided to have a go. I liked it far morI didn't really know what this book was going to be about. It was the book club's choice for this month, so I decided to have a go. I liked it far more than I expected to. I would recommend it to anyone who regularly pursues a creative interest. In fact, when I got a copy and read it, I liked it so much that I bought a copy for a friend, who also enjoyed it so much that she too bought a copy for her friend.
I'm not sure I understand the cover, which just looks like splashing various paint to me. The title does make sense after reading the book, but based on just "big magic," I don't know that I would have picked it up if not for the club picking it. I do enjoy reading books about writing motivation though. The book was well edited. Interestingly, the book talks about editing something so that it's "good enough," and figuring out when to stop hunting for every possible error. (*cough* Not that I've ever done that. *cough*) One of the greatest lessons in the book though is the hard truth of living a creative life: That you should quit, unless you can't.
This book does have me interested in the other works by this author. It did inspire me to keep writing. Some of the observations of the book impressed me because I've never thought about them before. It's very informative and entertaining, and it's clear that Elizabeth is an authority on the subject. The lessons absolutely apply to my own life as a writer. I'm sure my fellow writers would also enjoy reading this. The entire book was clear and easy to follow. The author's passion for writing and staying creative absolutely came through. I feel that I benefited from reading this book.
In the "Courage" section, the list of fears, I nodded along several times. "Argue for your limitations and you get to keep them," was a powerful quote included in this book (also in the "Courage" section). I don't know how, exactly, it might apply with chronic illness or family matters, but there it is. The book mentions that projects that don't turn out well can be thought of as just creative experiments -- what a freeing idea that is! The story in the book about the novel that really wanted to be written, the one that Ann ends up doing, that's some serious motivation to write when the Muse comes to call. Very powerful.
Good enough and out there now is better than probably perfect but never out there... that's a lesson I should make my mantra and say daily or something. Pretty good books can sell and be read. Books that are never published aren't selling or giving themselves to the world.
The lesson about needing to love writing (or whatever) with your whole heart, the good and the bad parts, that's an important one. I think that's what weeds out most people. For example, during the #AtoZChallenge in April or NaNoWriMo in November, a lot of people start and make it for the first week. But, by the end of those months, it's only the people who loved doing it enough to keep at it despite the time consumption and dozens of things that inevitably go wrong for anyone who makes plans.
In a post-apocalyptic world, are writers useful? The book suggests that the fact that creativity exists is a gift, proof we are doing well. But I think the worse things are, the more people need the distraction of entertainment. (And if there's no more power or Internet, books and storytellers would go up in value.) That's the one part of the book I disagreed with. Perhaps my ego just wants to feel valuable so I have a fun reason to go on that isn't wholly reliant on another individual?
Being loved by nature and having a place in the world, mentioned in the "Trust" section, perhaps that's a more natural concept for me because of my Lenni-Lenape upbringing. It does seem to be one of the things that separated, or exiled, me from the more "civilized" children. Also in the "Trust" section was the bit about the Martyr and Trickster, which made me think of Batman and the Joker. As for the story of the Court Lobster, that's sort of why I decided to self-publish my first novel. (It was never going to wear the right costume, and I wasn't going to change the mythology just because others didn't know the legends I do. So I went "Court Lobster.") ...more

The writing is fine. The grammar, punctuation and such are fine. In fact... "The king died and then the queen died is a story. The king died, and then queen died of grief is a plot." That is written as well in this book as it was in E. M. Forster's "Aspects of the Novel."
I did not download the additional workbook offered at the opening of this book, so perhaps I missed the citation?
Either way, I've knocked two possible stars off the rating scale due to the very large amount of material in this book which I've read in other books. In fact, if you are like me (an author who has read many writing reference books before), you'll soon get a sense of déjà vu. *SPOILER ALERT* Let me break it down: Use everything you know about how to write a story, aim it at some cookie-cutter ideal reader, and that's how to market according to this book. Turn your About Me into a story with a full arc about the ideal reader reading your book. That's it. *END SPOILER*
I did like the line about "A brand is the sum total of all the experiences a customer has with you or your product or company." Though an article by Guy Smith from September 28, 2004 says much the same thing, so this wasn't really new information to me, either. (http://www.marketingprofs.com/4/smith...)
The book asked what I stand against, what angers me about my industry or business. Well, one BIG pet-peeve of mine is the way "diverse people" are excluded, especially by book marketers. Why can't males read romance? I'm not a fan of the category label "chick lit," as it feels exclusionary. I find it frustrating when I read facts about the low rate of books that American Adults read (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/...), especially with lines like, "men are less likely than women to have read a book."
So please consider that as my main reason for knocking off another possible star rating, as at the 68% percent mark in this book, it talks about the ideal reader. It doesn't make sense to sell to anyone outside an ideal audience of one reader? Should customers be CLONES of one person?
Well, I'm a Lenni-Lenape. I'm not a clone. I'm not someone to whom people market. My values, my name, and my demographic aren't likely to be on some list of an "ideal reader." Even my fears are different from those of most Americans. So no, I'm not someone "ideally suited" to have read this book.
I nurture my value of diverse books, and of reference books that have more original ideas and far less of the same words as other publications. That's the "theme" of this review-- to strive higher, to aim for a better world. Something I feel this book does not encourage, support, or do. ...more

There were parts of this book that interested me as a writer. It would certainly be more relevant for non-fiction than fiction, but it's still useful There were parts of this book that interested me as a writer. It would certainly be more relevant for non-fiction than fiction, but it's still useful either way. The book had some insights and knowledge that I had not encountered before. I enjoyed doing the suggested exercises to the best of my ability (see next section about downloads). The book has helped me set some new goals, and for that, I'm grateful.
To create my "pick up plan" I was supposed to download a template. To download a template, I had to go to the site (again) and enter my name and email (again) and wait for yet another email that never comes (and yeah, I've checked spam). When an author has templates that go with the book and I have "sign up for" or jump through a hoop to get them, I feel annoyed and exploited. When that template doesn't come, I feel cheated and betrayed, and my opinion of the author's authority drops considerably. I question if the author does not believe in the work, and thus created a way to trick readers onto a mailing list. I wonder what my purchase meant to the author. I wonder if I'm just a number to grow an email list. I would prefer if I could go to a web page and download the templates which accompany the book, and then be given an option to sign up for a mailing list and such. If a book is genuinely good, then I'd sign up. But I feel that being required to sign up for an email list (especially to get what I'd consider "the other 25% of the book I paid for) is a weak and shady business practice. As a result of several templates that never came and being required to sign up for an email list to attempt to get them (rather than signing up because of a genuine interest), I'm knocking off two stars. I'm genuinely more displeased at having to sign up for a list than I am that the emails didn't come. Forcing me to sign up to get the rest of what I paid for is a choice the author made. Only one download (the 8-page workbook) out of all of them coming is probably some computer glitch, and that's something which annoys me but that I could forgive.
The sections about Trolls were well-written, humorous, and insightful. (However, it doesn't address how to deal with doxing. Perhaps because no one actually knows how to deal with it yet.) But I liked that section enough to give back one star.
That's a total of 4 out of 5 stars for this book. So long as you're prepared to click on SIXTEEN links to 47MindHacks.com (backslash whatever template or directory), and enter your name and email address each time, you'll enjoy this book.
I do believe that plenty of people read, and that self-publishing is a viable option, and most of the rest from the workbook. (The only email download from the sign-up list to come.)...more

There's a fantastic, informative part about why adverbs in dialogue attribution are dangerous. A story about his son, Owen, illustrates the difference between determination and passionate desire. (A determined person will do all the required work with diligence. A person overflowing with passionate desire will go above and beyond joyfully, perhaps even to the detriment of other bits of life.)
King discusses why he's a "pantser" not a "plotter" (NaNoWriMo folks know the terms). (Why isn't there an "Edgar Wallace Plot Wheel" app?)
Quotes I loved: "telling an alcoholic to control his drinking is like telling a guy suffering the world's most cataclysmic case of diarrhea to control his s**tting." "(Writing) is about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well."

An excerpt that I liked: "We expect a work of fiction to do more than just help us escape our worldly dilemmas. We expect it to have importance and be meaningful. A story is a process of discovery-through-conflict, and that process must result in transcendence for the central character. He must be changed by the experience, thereby allowing the reader to also be changed."
