Summary: Great source of "insider" information for aspiring writers
Review: As an aspiring writer I have purchased numerous books looking for the "secret" to being successful. If there is a secret other than hard work, it is to be found in this book. This book enumerates, in great detail, everything from setting up a work place, starting your writing, to getting your work published. The only concern I would express, with respect to this book, is that some of the tips are clearly focused on what has been successful for the author of this book. Everyone develops there own style, thus some of the information may not pertain to you, but even if that is the case, it will still be useful to see another perspective. Overall this is a great resource for both aspiring and established writers.

Review: I've known Scott Edelstein since he secured me a publishing deal in the mid-1990's. He's a writing and publishing EXPERT and this book proves it. It's direct, clear, SMART and incredibly useful. I consult this book all the time.
