An inspiration-packed, practical guide to selling articles
I found the title lackluster and vague, but the contents themselves are first-rate. The book is jammed with brainstorming ideas and practical tips for selling articles of national interest---no matter where you live. Yudkin certainly brings her own expertise to the topic, but she also includes a generous sampling of quotes and helpful advice from other real-life freelancers and writing professionals. There are fewer than half-a-dozen writing books I return to year after year for inspiration and refreshment; this one will certainly join that select number.

shows you how to turn your ideas into cash
By looking around and using the stuff of your every day life, you've got fodder for dozens of articles -- and this book tells you how to turn them into query letters and articles that will have editors asking you back for more.

A book with endless suggestions of where to submit your work
This is a must have book for the beginning writer. Yudkin takes one idea for an article and twists and turns it into a half-dozen for you. Her suggestions generate idea after idea. Even if you're not a beginner, you'll find yourself refreshed and resurged to look for the unique way to sell your articles. I highly recommend Marcia Yudkin. She's a supreme marketeer.
