Not so long ago, I got the yen to write a novel. I typed my fingers to the bone, sent out queries and never even got a rejection letter. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published, 4th Edition, explained clearly and concisely the origins of the problem by beginning the book asking "Why do you want to write?" Once that paramount question is answered the remainder of your technique, motivation and strategy becomes clear. I have been re-writing my earlier works, following the models and recommendations from in this book, and now I am certain that success, a published novel, is finally within reach. It is not enough to have passion, you must have knowledge of how the industry of publishing operates. The masterful, conversational style of Sheree Bykofsky and Jennifer Basye Sander, is encouraging for those lost on the creative landscape. Their non-ambiguous approach makes the process easily understandable with practical steps, repetition and recognizable examples to back up their points. If you want to take the endeavor of writing with any degree of sober-mindedness, you must add The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published, 4th Edition, to your library.
