Customer Reviews

a genuine and practical guide to publishing

I'm not really sure if I wanted to write a book, but Susan Shapiro's "The Byline Bible inspired me to continue writing. Writing about basically anything. It also inspired me to write a meaningful piece of work. It didn't have to be a novel or a book as long as it hooks the reader on reading what I wrote. I found the personal anecdotes included in this novel to be enjoyable, especially regarding the students who took the author's class and later got their work published. Information regarding publishing was insightful and exciting to read about. Normally, I'd look up all these stuff but this book had almost everything I needed to know. This book was such a gem. It hooks you right from the start (so you know it's good writing), even with practical information that I never knew I would actually be interested in reading. All in all, this book was a nice surprise. It was useful and engaging. Readers can read the essays of Shapiro's students and find out what worked and what didn't. This book's a definite must have for aspiring writers out there.
