Summary: The Shortest Distance Between You and a Published Book
Review: This book is absolutely invaluable! Susan Page takes you step by step thru the maze of writing, setting goals, deciding on titles, finding an agent, query letters, book proposals, contracts, what to expect after you sell, plus great infomation about promotion, marketing and working with the media. Sound advice resonates from each page. The resource section alone was worth the price of the book. Written in a easy to read style that lets you breeze through the material. It was a true gift to those of us in the throes of publishing and trying to find our way through. Her book is an treasure trove of information & the perfect primer for the first time writer or sauvy professional. Thank you Susan for your skill and you openness in sharing the secrets to success that you have learned along the way. Now there is no reason that success is beyond anyone's reach with this as our bible.

Summary: ok i guess
Review: This book was Ok, but as far as it being a step-by-step approach it wasnt so great. I didnt see many unique ideas and the step by step approach was ambiguous. Just about all of the information I got out of this book I recieved through a simple internet search. If you are looking for a hold your hand approach to publishing, I would look elsewhere
