Summary: Absolutely everything I needed and more than expected!
Comment: I have wanted to write a book for over thirty years but hadn't a clue where to start. I took a leave of absence, bought a home overlooking the Mississippi River and moved in hoping the "spirit" of Mark Twain would somehow penetrate me by osmosis! Luckily my sister sent me off with The Idiot's Guide to Getting Published. This started my research in how to accomplish that dream. I learned which one of my topics was the most marketable, how to "package" my topic and the actual nuts and bolts to writing the query letter,proposal, and sample chapter. I have completed all of the above and on Christmas Eve sent out my first query letter. I know that my topic will help others and I am feeling so proud of myself that I have done all of this work...work I didn't even know existed one month ago. Thank you Jennifer and Sheree for helping me to put into process my dream of writing. I will be eternally grateful.

Summary: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published
Comment: As a new writer, I have found no other single book on the market that guides you through the publishing process as well as Sheree Bykofsky's "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published."
I have read and studied many books on all aspects of the publishing business, but for the novice writer, and I'm sure the experienced writer too, this book is a must read. The book sits on my desk at all times and it is referenced on a regular basis.
From developing your ideas, to writing the perfect query letter, to submitting manuscripts, and finally signing the contract, The Idiot's Guide to Getting Published has all the answers. The only regret I had after I purchased this book was I realized I should have purchased it sooner!
By the time I bought Sheree's book, my manuscript was well underway. As I looked back, I realized how correct the Idiot's Guide was along my journey to getting published.
The Idiot's Guide to Getting Published saved the day when I signed my first contract. I didn't have an agent to guide me through the process and once again this book was "dead on" with all the information it provides.
I still may be an idiot, (don't tell anyone) but I guarantee you won't look like one after reading this book. Simply put, it is the best money you can spend on a book about the publishing business.
You better believe I will be referring to this book for marketing advice for my new book, as well as words of wisdom for future projects!
Thank you Sheree and Jennifer for writing "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published."

Summary: A complete, sensible step-by-step instruction book.
Comment: Book Review The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published
Have you ever been in the position of having someone say to you "Do you have any more questions?" Have you been frustrated because you didn't have enough knowledge of the subject at hand to enable you to ask intelligent questions? Well, if it is "getting published" that is plaguing you with unanswered "how to", I have found your answer. It is appropriately called "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published."
You are guided down the road from "wannabe" writer to becoming an accomplished professional. Each step of the way is carefully detailed and you are very quickly brought to the realization that although writing may be fun, publishing is a serious business. You learn what to do and what not to do when writing your letter of query, and your proposal, or in submitting your manuscript. Each step in the process has a definite procedure and learning the tricks of the trade is half of the battle when the victory is a published book. I have concluded that non-fiction is the way to go! Do a year of research, a query, a proposal, and if the publisher likes your idea, then- you can write your book.. Fiction is a little more difficult. Write the book, write a synopsis, and then sell the publisher on the idea that it is "the" book of the year. However, do the selling through your agent! You only need a successful query to obtain the agent. The up side is that the agent works on the commission from your sales, and requires no money at the start.. Seriously, the book is the answer to all of the questions that you weren't aware that you needed to ask, when you decided that you were a "writer." This is just a sample of the pearls of wisdom, sample letters, and resources shared in this book. It is, without a doubt, a "writer's Bible" whether your aspirations are fame and fortune or the pleasure of self publishing. The authors have participated in all aspects of the game and willingly and unselfishly share their combined wealth of expertise and experience.
