Write That Book Already!: The Tough Love You Need to Get Published Now by Sam Barry, Kathi Kamen Goldmark
2.0
"Write that book already!"--by the title, one might think that this was a guide for writing a book. A motivational guide or step-by-step how-to. Instead, it's a guide for getting published. You'd know that if you can read the subtitle, but if you are perusing your ebook library, you might not be able to see the subtitle, and you might just start reading and wonder when, if ever, the text actually gets to the point.
I found this ebook on my Kindle app, which I haven't used in a couple of years. Who knows how long ago I downloaded it, and I'm really hoping I didn't pay for it when I did.
Appendix II is a nice summary on the book publishing process, but other than that, I didn't seem to find much useful information in the rest of the text. I'd recommend it more for nonfiction writers than aspiring novelists.
I find it interesting that a book on publishing, especially one that refers to its copy editors directly, would have so many typos. Maybe it's just the ebook version? At least one of them is a joke (see the entry regarding typos), but come on, it's Edgar Allan Poe, not Edgar Allen Poe. I can understand a couple of eyes not noticing the misspelling, but I can't be the only person to have caught that one, or the random missing letters from other words.
If you can find this for free (and I expect I got it as part of some package from Writer's Digest back in 2010 or something), go ahead and download it. Otherwise search engines will probably give you any information you are looking for that might be in this book.
