Title: I think it's going to be good
Review: I read the sample on Kindle (which I highly recommend) and I liked it enough to download the whole thing. I like that he gets into how the publishing part works. He had me when he began talking about the six sisters of publishing. But, it probably is in bad need of an update because the book is 4 years old and none of this may still be true. So there's that.I did not like his thoughts on what to say to an agent who fails to get back to you after having your manuscript exclusively. He said to tell them you are moving on to another agent---err, not. He's maybe not looking at it from the writer's side. The LAST thing I want to do as a writer is alienate an agent. I think he should have given an e-mail sample of how he would approach the agent---maybe it would not be as harsh as it sounded. This made me read a little more carefully---in other words, I'm not taking his advice without questioning it with other writers to be sure.
Is the review positive or negative?
