I am glad I found this book and read it. The book answered many questions and resolved doubts I had for a long time. Even just reading other people questions and answers shapes up your own point of view on writing. The book is full of practical ideas, productivity tips and straight answers to all kinds of questions. The book is very encouraging.

This book is filled with answers to questions I have been asking and with answers to other questions I hadn't thought of yet. Great source of information.

This 30th Anniversary edition of the "Beginning Writer's Answer Book" is packed with 29 Chapters and a comprehensive Appendix filled with the basic tools needed to write and publish. This valuable resource is edited by Jane Friedman and contains answers to questions in 29 specific subject areas designed to meet the needs of the beginning writer.

The table of contents not only lists well defined chapter titles with further helpful descriptive information which allows the reader to choose chapters randomly based on current areas of interest and application. I appreciate the fact that the subjects are cross referenced for easy accessibility of information.

Keeping up with current changes in the publishing market is an ongoing challenge. Friedman's basic guidelines and fundamental principles continue to insure that the "Beginning Writer's Answer Book" remains an important recommended resource.

This is a good reference book. I have not had a chance to go through the entire book, but the parts that I have referenced and read are clear and precise. It's quite easy to read for a reference book and I think it answers a lot of questions that I have, and probably the questions that many other beginning writers have.
