hellsfire's review against another edition
3.0
I read the first two books and enjoyed them even though none of them were ever "complete." Just like those ones, this one added another aspect of the whole publishing and writing world.
Sadly, this book feels a little outdated. Part it was because I took so long to read it. I bought it two years ago. I would have read it sooner had it been on my Kindle.
Speaking of which, they don't really cover that or ebooks. The whole self-publishing thing is brushed upon and what's said is outdated. Maybe because the publishing world's very turbulent right now, but anything pertaining to that, electronic, submitting just seems old.
However, some, if not most of the book is still useful. The publicity and marketing articles are still handy. I just wish it was talked about how cost-effective they are.
There's a lot that's not covered here and if they ever did a revised edition or a 4th book, I'd probably buy it. It'd be nice if I could read it electronically though.

A very interesting collection of articles focusing on the business side of being a fantasy writer.
