Review by: Alcala Publications on June 11, 2011 :
@BobDown And why on Earth would it not talk down to the reader? These are the masters speaking to the little folk who know nothing... well presumably.
I read this book last year and all I can say is that it is amazing. First off: Absolutely Inspiring. Second Off: Very helpful, I'm actually using the example of a query letter to try and get a literary agent (I've tried before to little avail).
All around it's a must read for any writer who aims high and any amature who doesn't plan on giving up.
Thank you for publishing this body of work, I re-read certain pages of it like once a week, my favorite source of advice in the world.

Review by: Christopher Hunter on March 19, 2011 :
This is very good information for free. Any writer is bound to find something they'll find helpful. There were moments where it lost my attention, but overall, the it's strait talk from authors about the industry. It was very much worth my time.

Review by: A. J. Braithwaite on July 11, 2010 :
Some great advice here for just-starting-out writers (and probably ones who've been at it for a while, too). I particularly enjoyed Kristine Kathryn Rusch's piece on discipline (oh so terribly true) but there is something useful in each of the chapters. Thanks for making this available for free!
