    Great book. Great advice.

    This handbook was awesome! It was great that it was written by various writers offering their advice. This made it easier to read and sounded genuine. I like that you can skip around and use whatever advice works or speaks to you. Highly recommended!

    If on the Nook, watch out!

    This book is a terrific read, but will freeze up on the Nook.

    Highly Recommend!

    This is a great book for writers. Whether you are a beginner or a published author there is something in it for everyone. This book gives a great overview on everything from what *not* to write about, plotting, and even platform building. A must have for writers.
