Ouch! For someone claiming to be a professional, this was a poorly written sales pitch. Still, the price was right and perhaps you might learn something useful reading through all 25 pages. I found it barely readable, astonishingly fragmented and disjointed. The author (perhaps to establish his own credentials or just to shamelessly self market) points to his own commercial resources instead of providing the quick and ready help that the title promised. Still, the author seems to have some experience and perhaps just put this out on the fly without . . . Let's be honest. If the guide is self proclaiming, self endorsing marketing, what else did we hope for?

This sounds like a great book, but the only things to download are the cover and a blank page. The ultimate do-it-yourself book.

Call it what it is ~ a booklet. And, not a very good one at that. I cannot in good faith recommend this to anyone. It's a very poor joke.

The download provided nothing but the front cover. Are all the free downloads like this?

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Mr. Evans has written a great beginners guide and I appreciate what he had to tell me. The read was short and concise, which is exactly what was needed. The website of his is equally as informative! I recommend reading this book if you have the writing bug and don't know what to do next.

It's only the cover, but then again it is free, what else could be expected.

There are 13 pages to this book and you must have the link to the barnes and noble open to read. Not a joke.

I did the same as another reviewer by trying the freebies so I can test out iphone reader before spending money - same thing, cover and blank page. plus it prompted me to enter a credit card number (again)on the iphone to 'unlock' the download. (I refuse to send credit card info over the phone)So I guess I won't be buying ebooks, the free ones don't seem to work and since there may be an additional charge to 'unlock' the download just for iphone viewing is even more incentive to not waste my time with bn ebooks - especially when you get one like this - Blank.

I think this was a great book for a beginner writer. A very excellent read!

Silly, obvious advice written for eighth graders wanting to publish emo poetry in their high school literary magazine. Apparently. Nobody over the age of 12 will find anything remotely new. Hate to be harsh about freebies, but this one's a waste of time.

Was considering buying this book, but after reading the 17 reviews, I've changed my mind. I will proceed on.

This was sadly lacking and the title a bit deceiving. You expect more from a "how to" book. This was more of an essay and not a very good one at that.
