Can’t wait to release my book

I’d been toying with writing my first book for some time before I read this. At last it’s clear what path to take, and when to seek help. That alone has spurred me into action. Can’t wait to release my book.

Practical and easy to read

This book is practical and easy to read, with several sections that I went back to in detail when I was writing my own book. I particularly loved the Writing Persuasively and Insider Tips for Easier Writing chapters. And the Editing one was VERY useful. One to keep as a reference guide for sure.
