Book Reviews of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published, 4th Edition (Complete Idiot's Guide to)

Book Review: Finally Found the Answers!
Summary: 5 Stars

"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published" has accompanied me to the dentist, the dining table, my hairdresser, while waiting for a late-arrival friend, etc. It has become an appendage that friends tease me about.

It is informative, inspirational, gives good advice, holds back no punches, and still entertaining. If I had read this first, would never have bothered with another "how-to-get-published" book.

Thank you Sheree & Jennifer for inspiring me to join you and "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published" as a "team" to help get my book published.

Summary of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published, 4th Edition (Complete Idiot's Guide to)

In this new edition, readers will find:
. An updated overview of changes in the publishing industry
. Practical tips about pitch letters, negotiations, contracts, and industry trends
. Includes CD-ROM with sample pitch letters, proposal templates, a comprehensive list of literary agents, links to fantastic author websites, and more
