Summary: This book is an author's roadmap to success ....
Review: Elizabeth Lyon's new book, Sell Your Novel Toolkit, provides a detailed roadmap for producing a well qualified query letter, synopsis and tips to manage that all important marketing strategy.

Ms. Lyon's Toolkit is written from the perspective of an accomplished, well-seasoned author who has experienced it all and learned from her own writing successes. Ms. Lyon's product is not only functional, but encouraging to the author who is already established, or entering the publishing environment for the first time.

The Toolkit has enhanced my abilities as a newly published author and I look forward to the next book.

Summary: A well-stocked toolkit!
Review: I've learned so much from Elizabeth Lyon. I keep my copy of the Sell Your Novel Toolkit within arm's reach because I find it indispensable whenever I'm ready to market my manuscript, no matter what part of the process I'm involved with. From Lyon's book, I've learned how to write a query that catches the attention of the recipient, how to write a synopsis, how to format, and what I need to submit. I've also learned what to do if I get a rejection and what to do if my manuscript is accepted. I feel that Lyon has a sincere interest in helping writers achieve their dream.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Sell Your Novel Toolkit
Review: Obviously an accomplished writer herself, Ms. Lyon seems to have a sixth sense about the quandaries we novelists ponder each night when we could be sleeping. Should I write a prologue? How do I keep track of crisscrossing submissions? Should I give up after the tenth rejection letter? Tool Kiit offers the steadying voice of an accomplished independent editor who has made it her life's work to delve into every detail of publishing, and she has come up with a workable plan of attack.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Toolkit" Is The Writer's Bible
Review: Thanks to Elizabeth Lyon's "Sell Your Novel Toolkit" book, I was able to complete a novel, write an effective query letter and synopsis that got much positive feedback from agents, obtain creditable agents, and ultimately sign a book deal with a major publishing company. I sincerely give Lyon's "Toolkit" book credit for my success, and recommend that ANY writer looking to be published purchase this necessity! It is the path that will guide your career through the journey to success!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Practical help to launch that first novel
Review: This book is pitched at new novelists, and provides a very readable, practical and comprehensive guide to all aspects of promoting that first novel in today's highly competitive market, including both methods of self-promotion and the use of agents. The sections dealing with the use of synopses will also assist first-time novelists to tighten up the structure of their work before approaching agents and publishers. A valuable marketing took for new novelists and those who have cause to advise them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hurray! A sensible books on the art of selling your work
Review: This is one of exactly two sensible books (that's one per decade) I've read about writing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Super Book!
Review: You can put this book to use right away. It's well organized, crisp, and complete. Don't do as I did and wait until your novel is complete before reading it. It will help you from day one of your project.

I had just finished my first novel, AnaPaul, and was trying to understand how to begin markeing it. This book was a Godsend.
It was just what I needed to move forward. Lyon's insights into writing, publishing, and marketing are just invaluable.

I had really been struggling to get my arms around the publishing landscape. Her book allowed me to very quickly categorize my book, see how it fits into the publishing universe, and put together an eye-catching synopsis. It's a great investment.

John
