The First-Book Market: Where and How to Publish Your First Book and Make It a Success

Rating:
Summary: I like the title
Review: I like the title. I think all three editors did a good job. I'm not trying to get a book published, but I found this book fascinating because it explores the mysteries of the sometimes zen-, othertimes shark-like world of publishing. After reading this book, I'm left feeling that these writers either need the enormity of clammy perserverance or quicksilver luck. You can't just have talent as a writer -- you need publishing talent, too!

Summary: Great insight into publishing
Review: If you read this book you will get a fast fun course in publishing. Teaches you the ins and outs and is a lot of fun.

Summary: I Have All I Want
Review: If you're impatient and anxious to get your book published, don't buy this one. If you don't like Writer's Market, or other such books, this one will annoy you. First-Book Market is for serious writers who are willing to do some work. I, for one, especially like the section where several authors tell stories about what it took to get their books published -- check it out. That said, it's a good read, and it'll give you a leg up if you want a climb. While you're at it, read my book!
