This review is from: You Can Get Published (You Can Write) (Paperback)

There are some good ideas in this book, and some good examples of where to take one's writing. But, the author's style is like a combination of Mr. Rogers and Richard Simmons: Can you write fillers? Of course you can! How about a column? Let's get to it! Ever think about writing for children? Why not!

It's a dizzying series of simple questions, followed by text meant to inspire and get one started in writing. There isn't a lot about the actual process of getting published; mostly, it's words of wisdom from an established author, with suggestions on what areas to dig into and what to expect from certain markets. I didn't get a lot out of this book, mostly because I already know what I want to write.

If, however, you are a beginner beginner, or in high school, or simply want to write but have no idea what, then this book might be for you.
