Editorial Reviews
This book is a must have for authors, particularly those who
are new to this game. I am sure that there are tidbits of info that would be
helpful to more seasoned authors, also. It is like having your own personal
teacher to guide you through the murky waters of marketing and publishing.
There is also a wealth of knowledge about the actual writing of your
manuscript.
Especially helpful are the various detailed charts and instructions on how to format your publications. You can literally develop your book from cover to cover, as Mel details all the inside and outside parts of taking your manuscript from a draft to a finely tuned marketable novel. Mel leads you on the journey through the difficult stage of promotion and teaches you to avoid many pitfalls in the process. YOU NEED THIS! Rose Roach
