Testimonials
"I can't
believe you're selling all this information for $12.95.
Are you nuts? (Sure, it's great to offer value for money
- but really, you should put up the price. Advice this
good is an investment, not an expense.)"
-- Marg McAllister
“It's without a doubt one of the best writing
books I have ever read”
-- EbookAd Review
This is a book I have long waited for. I rate [the
book] five stars."
-- Lillian Cauldwell, Host of the Thru-the-Cracks-of-Time
radio talk show
"Your section on, coming up with ideas, is invaluable.
Your instructions about what to look for when studying
the magazines are more detailed than anything I have
seen. Your information on doing interviews and getting
expert quotes totally demystifies the process; and of
course the mechanics of writing a query is exactly
what I needed to present a polished professional
image."
-- Pamela Hatheway
"I rarely give out five stars for a book review, but
this is one of those books that I can whole-heartedly
give five stars...”
