5.0 out of 5 stars It WAS everything I needed to know!, October 6, 1999

Patrika: I read your book this morning, and it summed-up in 200 short pages what I had to garnish from probably 50 - 60 previously read books on writing and publishing. I enjoyed every page of it. What's more important, is that it answered several questions that I had about current trends in the publishing industry.

Thanks again for being the pioneer "Author's Advocate", it's good to know that someone understands and is willing to help.

I'd always wanted to write my family's history but couldn't get started....didn't know how. This took me step-by-step and showed me how to make it interesting. A terrific guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best guide I'd found, October 6, 1999

I've been trying to write my memoirs for years, have read all the books. But there was something about HEARING this good guidance, and listening to the examples of everything she said to do, that made it real for me. This was the best aide I've found - and I found a lot of them.
