Angela Panayotopulos made this earth seven pounds more chaotic when she was brought into the world. She earned her degrees in English and Business at GMU; at twenty-two, she also earned her MFA with top honors in Creative Writing. As a full-time freelancer, professional editor, and novelist, she appreciates the power of words; after all, it only takes one to take us from a mushroom to a mushroom cloud.

She's a die-hard optimist, and figures that's what either makes people fall in love with her or drives them insane. She also wonders if she'll ever get used to writing about herself in the first person (not likely); as she continues doing that, please take your amazing self on a trip through her website to get more insight into the world of The Art of War...

"I want to write books that unlock the traffic jam in everybody's head." ~John Updike.

  No easy feat to format a book by oneself for publishing, but not impossible either. It would have been nearly impossible for me without this guide--love the step-by-step format, the friendly approachable tone, and the visual images. Do wish each "update" used different colored letters for the new sections/sentences added (esp. since I was consulting the guide throughout a span of a few months, and had to keep rereading to ensure I hadn't missed a change). I've got a 83000-word book to get out there (The Art of War: a Novel), so the manual nitpicking was time-consuming, but I believe it'll be worth it...! Thanks Mark.
