How She's Successful
Great advice from one of my favorite writers. This book is not only filled with helpful writing tips but includes links to help aspiring writers sell their work.
Highly recommend this book to any writer looking to improve their writing habits and writing style.
Recommended to all!
I myself am an aspiring author, as yet unpublished, and this book gave me a lot of great advice. With my wife and I just having had our first baby I had put writing to the side for the first three and roughly half years of my daughters life. I can say for certain Janet has given me the kick in the pants I needed to place my fingers back on the keyboard!
