Review
Reviewed by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-winning author of "This is the Place" and "Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered"
Sour
grapes are not a food that feeds the soul or the tummies of hungry writers.
I am here to tell you that the virulent reviews posted on Amazon about
this book by literary agent Peter Miller should be ignored.
A single book cannot do everything for everybody. This one teaches
the art of SELLING your work. At its best it does so by giving out
actual samples of query letters, synopses, and other selling tools. There
isn't one that isn't an excellent guide for a budding writer with her
sights on commercial success.
As a former publicist, my queries, media releases, etc., are adequate.
I still wish I'd had this book as a guide when I was shopping This is
the Place!
