Review:Arrived on time as posted date arrival by Amazon as I bought this brand new. The book though thick and bit big but is not heavy.. most of all the prints are big that you don't need an eyeglass to find words. The main word you look are bolder in print that makes it easy to find its synonyms under it. I recommend this thesaurus and Amazon. Thank you. Read more

Review:I purchased this in audio form. I've listened to it at least 6 or 7 times, all the way though. I've learned so much, not only about writing, but also how to market yourself and get noticed. Jeff Goins, the author, narrates it as well, and his voice is energetic...like he was doing a public speaking event. Jeff begins the book from long before his full-time writing career began. He talks about how he managed to get his name out there, how he networked, and how he became as popular as he is t... Read more

Review:Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Having come from an 'airplane family' where my dad and his 6 brothers grew up with a landing strip and barn full of planes out back in the 60s, I especially appreciated hearing the stories in this book. There's not much I can add to the other great reviews, this is simply one I couldn't put down. Read more

Review:Written based upon his real-life experience as a scullery worker in a Paris hotel and a tramp in London, George Orwell's recounting of the stories of the impecunious stands alone in its authenticity of the content and veritability of the experiences The substantiality of poverty was boredom and inconvenience, according to Orwell because poverty freed people from standard s of ordinary behaviors. Nevertheless, this book is not a book of socialist manifesto that urges the impecunious to revolt ag... Read more

Review:Brian K. Vaughan is the best writer in comics. Of this, I'm sure. I have loved almost everything he's written and was happy to finally get a chance to read this. He has an amazing way of humanizing so many different types of characters. The plot here, based on a true story, is simple and pure: survival. He takes it so far past that. Just an amazing story. The art was very good. Overall a fantastic must read! Read more

Review:A stream of rambling nonsense that has nothing to teach about writing or anything else.
If you start reading it and tell yourself that " it must get better if I just read a little further", you will be disappointed.
On the bright side - the existence of this book proves that anyone can become a published author - anyone Read more

Review:As a parent of a child with high functioning autism (aka, Asperger's syndrome), I'm struck by passages in McCarthy's book that seem to be lifted out of descriptions of life written by people with HFA. I would never diagnose someone (I certainly don't have the credentials), but I wonder if the personal insight in this book, plus the feeling of being isolated from others all his life, doesn't suggest to others the possibility that there are many different factors at play here, possibly including A...

Review:Excellent book, easy read as the true stories really let you know what really goes on in media and if it wasn't for the people of Project Veritas we never would know. They should receive as much funding as NPR. Read more

Review:Elmore Leonard has created here, a book that says just what it needs to and no more. It is quirky and amusing, whilst giving the budding writer some really sound advice. You can read it in one sitting or take your time to soak up the esoteric knowledge contained within these definitive pages. A must for all people serious about the writing craft. Read more

Review:Easy to read, but very dated information. Some of the guidance given, for example, regarding email marketing, has been made irrelevant due to laws written after the 2002 publication date (and apparently have not made their way into later editions of the text). Read more
