5.0 out of 5 stars Put this book in your shopping cart right now!, July 10, 1999
By A Customer
Cheryl Sloan Wray has written a very readable, highly motivating book. It's perfect for beginners who are wondering if they have what it takes to break into this field. It's also great for procrastinators (like me!) who should have "just done it" a long time ago and need someone to nudge them back to the keyboard. This book is a valuable resource for would-be/should-be magazine writers everywhere!

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy and realistic guide for aspiring journalists., February 12, 1999
By A Customer
This book was everything that I needed to help me get through the daunting task of cracking into the journalistic world. Cheryl Sloan Wray is realistic and doesn't sugar coat the facts about how hard it is to succeed, but at the same time this book helps you gain the self confidence it takes to prosper.

I read this book and was very happy with how easily it walked me through the sometimes frustrating process of writing magazine articles. I'd recommend it for classroom use for journalist majors.
