The Portable Writer's Conference lives up to its title as a confluence of hard-earned wisdom,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Portable Writer's Conference: Your Guide to Getting Published (Paperback)
Now in a newly updated edition, The Portable Writer's Conference: Your Guide to Getting Published is a compilation of wisdom from over forty-five editors, agents, and authors, presented to writers from all walks of life seeking publication. From developing a concept pitch to hear an agent say yes, to crafting a professional-quality feature article for a newspaper or magazine, to tips and tricks for running a successful home-based writing business, crafting nonfiction or self-help books, what every author must know about copyright, and much more, The Portable Writer's Conference is a wisdom-laden supplement to getting one's feet wet in the writing profession. Though not a substitute for a straightforward instructional manual to the writing business, The Portable Writer's Conference lives up to its title as a confluence of hard-earned wisdom gathered from expert writers of all backgrounds. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Lives up to its title,
By Helen Gallagher (Glenview, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Portable Writer's Conference: Your Guide to Getting Published (Paperback)
Yes, there are a lot of good books on writing, but many fall short of really helping you move ahead. This book, while not quite like a conference experience, takes you past all the doubts, and "How do I do this?" to a path toward success. I'm biased, but particularly pleased to see the publishing process explained in a way that encourages people to follow their path.
