5.0 out of 5 stars
A well-stocked toolkit!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sell Your Novel Tool kit (Paperback)
I dug into the "Sell Your Novel Toolkit" right away, pulling out information I needed immediately, then went back and read the entire book beginning to end. Ms. Lyon has done a superb job of packing all the tools a novel writer could need into her beautifully written "Toolkit." It's been my guide through each step of marketing my fiction. The amount of research packed into the appendices alone is worth the cost of the book.

Excellent Resource To Begin Marketing a Novel,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Sell Your Novel Tool kit (Paperback)
It's very hard to complete a novel, and after you complete it and begin to think about how to get it published can become overwhelming. That one page query letter that agents and publishers read and judge your writing ability on is an education in itself. This book will help you craft that all-important letter.

This book is an author's roadmap to success ....,
By "dhanselmo" (Maryland, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sell Your Novel Tool kit (Paperback)
Elizabeth Lyon's new book, Sell Your Novel Toolkit, provides a detailed roadmap for producing a well qualified query letter, synopsis and tips to manage that all important marketing strategy. Ms. Lyon's Toolkit is written from the perspective of an accomplished, well-seasoned author who has experienced it all and learned from her own writing successes. Ms. Lyon's product is not only functional, but encouraging to the author who is already established, or entering the publishing environment for the first time. The Toolkit has enhanced my abilities as a newly published author and I look forward to the next book.
