5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Library Tour, October 3, 2000
By 
This review is from: WriterSpeaker.com: Internet Research and Marketing for Writers and Speakers (Paperback)
With this book, writing books just became faster, easier, cheaper and a lot more fun. Carmen Leal reveals where to find what you need in the world's largest library: the Web. This book is a treasury of resources for writers and speakers.

Carmen Leal is a successful author who has made use of the Web to research her books. In WriterSpeaker.com, she opens her files, replicates her notes and shares what she has found. She shows you how and where to find what you need.

As the author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I highly recommend this volume to writers, speakers and anyone who needs information resources for their work. DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have resource, September 26, 2000
This review is from: WriterSpeaker.com: Internet Research and Marketing for Writers and Speakers (Paperback)
Hurry, add this book to your shopping cart! Carmen Leal wrangled thousands of details on access to the Information Superhighway and compiled them in one easy-to-use book. Never again wade through hundreds or thousands of entries when researching. Find the definitions, specific dates, quote attributions, and more with one or two mouse clicks. You'll have the search refined, and a guide to specific sites likely to have the information you need. WriterSpeaker.com is a wonderful resource for professionals, but also for students, and parents of students. Leal answers questions you didn't even know you had, until you saw the answer in her book. I can't recommend this book highly enough. And, when the next edition is published, I'll buy it too. The Internet is a constantly changing entity, and WriterSpeaker.com helps me use my research time more efficiently.
