Review Quotes:
"This is an invaluable resource for a growing subset of writers. This is everything I've ever wanted to say to self-publishing authors, presented clearly and respectfully. There were a number of topics that I found myself considering in regards to my own fiction writing, and others where, as an editor, I wanted to shout an 'Amen!' The section on PoV was enlightening to me as a writer, and I will be applying your advice in my own writing."
