Fantastic book on all aspects of becoming a pro writer

I loved this book. It is well written and full of information on how to become a professional writer.

Great book!

This book really explained how to publish your work. Before I read it, I was kind of clueless, but now, I'm in the know!

Great book

this book is so good! it even helped me publish a book

It was a great book that delivered more than expected!

When I first started to read this book, I thought it was going to be another boring book on how to write a story. The stuff about "what is a paragraph" scared me a bit, too. But as I got farther and farther into the book, I realized what great content this book had! I didn't expect the author to go into such detail on how to submit your story, as a manuscript, to a publisher! I would defintely reccomend this book to all the potential writers out there!

This is the best writing career book yet!

This is the best book I have seen yet that accurately describes the writing career to young adults. I would give this book freely to any teenager/young adult who expresses an intrest in writing. It has helpful writing excercises and endless tips that are necessary to know. It is concise and easy to understand. I only wish there were more books like this!
