Summary: Considering Getting Published?
Review: If you are just beginning to ponder the idea of publishing your manuscript- this is a great first book.

It walks you through the step-by-step process, or you can simply flip to the section you need information about.

This book contains excellent sidebars with quick and easy tips on the do's and don'ts of submitting and getting published.

It's especially helpful to those who may not know all the writer lingo out there.

One of the best pieces of advice appears on page 53, which discusses the importance of reading. Reading anything and everything is essential to becoming a good writer. There are selections for each genre of book with suggested reading titles and authors.

My advice- read and write everyday, make the time. Study this book and other books about publishing, so that you are prepared for the work. Yes, believe it or not, it is hard work to be a writer and more so to becoming a published writer.

This would be a good gift for a 'would be' writer or yourself!
