I'm a computer-savvy fiction writer who has used the Internet extensively in connection with my writing. This book has really hit the spot for me, as I'm just beginning to formulate more comprehensive Internet strategies. I actually know a lot of the detailed stuff in the book, but no one has ever encapsulated my potential choices so well. The book is well laid out, well written, and imbued with the voice of experience. A must-have for writers keen to blossom in the age of the Internet

If you're a beginning, intermediate or advanced writer hoping to harness the power of the 'Net and advance your writing career, Moira Anderson Allen's book helps you do just that. Concise and informative, Writing.com is one book you'll want to add to your "writer's wish list" for the coming holiday season!

This is an example of a well-targeted book: a treatise on the Internet for writers. It is a book that writers will identify with. Allen describes where to conduct research, where to find markets, all about electronic rights, promoting your book online and much more. While the book is directed to writers, a great deal of the advice, tips and insight will benefit anyone who wishes to know more about the Internet.

For a detailed description of the book's coverage, click on Table of Contents in the left-hand column of this page. The book also has more than 30 pages of valuable resources and an index.

Moira Allen has been a professional writer of both books and articles for more than 20 years.

As a publisher, author of 113 nonfiction books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I recognize the value of targeting your reading audience. Moira Allen is delivering her vital message to writers in a time of exciting change.

Definately worth your time if you are a writer trying to make it. The strategies are great and have given me hope about how I can get published. Of course, there isn't much writing practice in this book, so you should go elsewhere if thats what you need.

A clever rewrite of the old "how to be a writer" advice book, except the focus is on leveraging the Internet. There are some useful tips and a resources for the neophyte, but for established writers or online journalists (i.e. people who have gone to Journalism School and earned a degree in Journalism and are now working in an on-line medium) this book's usefulness is limited.

Writing.com should be in every writers book bag! It is easy to read and has great- useful information. Everone needs to be savy on the internet- this book tells you how.
