If You Buy Only ONE Book, THIS BOOK Is The One
In October 1998, with very little money to spend and a kernel of an idea for a book, I spent an afternoon in a book superstore and emerged with only two books--the "Idiot's Guide to Getting Published" and based on a suggestion from that book, "Jeff Herman's Writer's Guide." I couldn't afford any others and as it turns out, I didn't need them anyway.

Having read "Getting Published" cover to cover with a highlighter in hand, a notepad nearby, using no previous contacts, and using the principles, suggestions and tips found in this simple, straighforward guide, I sent out my first batch of query letters to agents on November 12.

Requests for my proposal began to come in within DAYS and (the honest truth) I found a wonderful agent and sold my proposal to a MAJOR publisher *before* Christmas.

I share this information because I believe in equal access. It is my sincere hope tha people will use this informative book to gain the type of access thought to belong to only a relative few. It changed my mind 100%.

Reading "Getting Published" does not guarantee that you will get published, but it WILL make sure you have the all the information you need to take your best shot at it.

In hindsight, I am certain that I was incredibly blessed at that time and, thanks to "Getting Published", incredibly well-prepared. I cannot thank the authors enough for demystifying this process and making it available to *anyone* that has their heart set on Getting Published.

So much information...
There is so much here I had to stop and wait until I get to that point in my actual writing since I know I won't be able to remember it all.

This is a must have reference for anyone looking to take that step beyond talking about getting published and actually going out on a limb and doing it. Thing is, the information here makes you feel like it isn't a limb at all but a well established bridge between you and the publishing business.

If you are still having second thoughts...don't! Just get the book.

GET PUBLISHED & SEEN NOW!
This is a great descriptive informative guide for writers(new & established)! If you are looking to get your work published and promoted, then you will benefit and appreciate the insiders secrets and helpful tips Sheree and Jennifer offer. The "asides and comments" are especially beneficial. Their step by step process make this an easy guide to refer back to over and over again.
