This Book Covers It All!,

This review is from: How to Write a How-To Book (Or Ebook) - Make Money Writing About Your Favorite Hobby, Interest or Activity (Paperback)
I have skimmed through many How-To books but this is the first one that I have taken seriously and read from beginning to end. It is like a "textual map" as it walks you through the how-to book creation and writing process, step-by-step.You should not have to look any further than this book for "hands-on" instructions on this subject. I especially liked the "learning points summary" that sets the stage for the remainder of the book. It then delves into each point summarized and walks you through every one from beginning to end; giving any prospective how-to writer all the tools they will ever need to write their book. This book has so much going for it I think it could easily be part of an MBA program. The author knows how to communicate directly with his readers in a warm and friendly way; there is no hype and nothing is taken for granted. He has put together a complete arsenal of "How-To" book writing material. After reading and working through this book, no one should ever suffer from writers block. In my opinion, this is a "How-To" masterpiece! ---Anne Schofield, Consultant, San Diego, CA

Thank you Shaun! My first e-book is completed!,
This review is from: How to Write a How-To Book (Or Ebook) - Make Money Writing About Your Favorite Hobby, Interest or Activity (Paperback)
I am so thankful for all of the useful information in this How-To e-book!I have been trying to write an e-book for quite some time. Struggling and never getting it done, I realized I needed help. After conducting a Google search, I came across Mr. Fawcett's e-book and I was sold! Quickly I purchased it and read the entire e-book cover to cover. It is packed with so much information! It is an easy step-by-step guide so even a new author can follow it. It was well worth the money! And, most importantly, my e-book is done! Rose Rybski, New Jersey
