Title: Encouraging, but Not Helpful
Product review: If you're a new author looking for some encouragement, the stories in this book may offer it. Forty authors share their stories and struggles to success, and there may be hope there for others to recognize their situations are not unique.If you're looking for real, helpful information on how to get published this isn't it. Set up as a collection of invidual stories, there's no clear or cohesive instruction on anything. There's no review of the efficiency or effectiveness of the various roads the writers describe taking; while they may tell you that they did something wrong or made mistakes to learn from they don't lay out what new authors should know, do or be prepared for. In addition, much of this material is outdated to the point where relying on it could prove a handicap.I highly recommend The Street Smart Writer by Jenna Glatzer instead for anyone looking for information on getting published.
