An everything guide that'll break all the aspects down

This book is full of info for almost every aspect of publishing and finding a literary agent. It covers more subjects than any other book I read, but it could go into a little more detail with some of them.If the chapter on proposals and query letters had more examples, it would have been a little more helpful. Their was a lot of information on marketing and publicity. I'm overall very pleased with this book, I learned enough in it to consider it a good purchase, and it will be another one I refer to often. It is an important part of a writer's personal collection. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get published along with Michael Larsen's "How to Get a Literary Agent", and "Give em What they Want" by Blythe Cameson for good examples of query letters. These three books are a good start for the fiction writer.

The Ultimate Guide for Aspiring Authors

My brother and I have been working on our first book (Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations) for over a year now -- it goes to print this week -- and PYPIP has been a constant reference and priceless guide. From agents and proposals to writing, editing, publicity, and marketing, this book takes you through the whole process with practical advice and examples that bring the ideas to life. Whether you're writing fiction or non-fiction, cookbooks or poetry, PYPIP is the book for you. I would recommend this book to any aspiring writer. It's worth its weight in gold.

Wish I had this when my first book was published

Looks like the consensus is strong. This book is far and away the best book for authors about getting published and marketing yourself that I've read, and I've read about eight. I was clueless when I first got published and made so many mistakes. Things will be different (and fun) when my second book comes out, and it's all because of "Putting Your Passion Into Print." This book will more than pay for itself in book sales and the amount of time it saves in the effort to get published.

Funny, well-researched, and indispensable

Most aspiring writers go through at least a couple of books about how to write, how to find an agent, how to get published, and, if they're astute, how to stay that way. I hadn't run across any great, friendly texts that encapsulate the whole process, and I always wanted to have one. Enter Arielle and David. This star-crossed couple combined their vast knowledge of the industry, both from the side of the aspiring author and the working agent, and developed a handbook that any writer ought to have in their collection, no matter what the level of experience. This is a book that I will continue to reference over the course of my career, as well as enjoying the lively prose and the well-organized structure. This is one of those wonderful books where the table of contents alone is incredibly witty. The combined talents of Sterry and Eckstut, both gifted and ground-breaking writers and veterans of showbiz give all of us who want to not just write, but get published, and hopefully paid for it, a text that is both fun and intensely useful.

Fabulous book, You need it

Arielle Eckstut is my agent and David Sterry has coached me with love and insight. Together these two know everything about the book business and share every detail in this fabulous book. Arielle helped me shape and publish poemcrazy:freeing your life with words, and now she's pitched and sold my new book, foolsgold. Putting your Passion into Print answers every question you have with playful charm, wisdom and savvy. If you've written a book, are writing one or are just thinking about it, you NEED Putting Your Passion Into Print. It will make a marvelous gift for all of your writer or would-be writer friends. You'll love it. Susan G. Wooldridge
