Useful and full of resources

This book is focused and focusing. I appreciate the tips and exercises and the list of resources. Very nice book.

I did not agree with various things the author said in this book and am glad I read it when I did: after developing some of my own opinions on basic writing preferences. I would recommend reading with discernment.

However, it was easy to read, humorous at times, and encouraging to new writers. The author brought up a lot of important topics and helped to simplify them. I also appreciated his focus on nonfiction.

This is an excellent book on the subject. I have read it the whole way through, then read again several chapters of interest, and now I keep it at hand for future reference. It covers lots of main issues for the would be writer of none fiction, and would also benefit anyone who is already a writer and would like to refresh their approach to writing.
It is one of those books that is easy to follow and understand and easily dip in and out of as necessary.

Useful, in between rambles

There is a lot of useful information on this book although the author loves talking about himself. I feel I practically know the guy and his life story after working my way through his book. Still I have highlighted and saved the bits that matter. Now to finish the first draft of the book!

Lovely and inspirational book with a nice and easy writing style. Would recommend it to any non-fiction writer in the making, but not as the sole reference. While the author touches upon every step of the process, he remains superficial most of the way. Great starting point with actionable steps though :)

I will use this book as a guide when working any book project. I highly recommend it. It will serve as a great reference and reminders especially when the going gets tough.

this book was amazing

I really enjoyed this book. I read the whole thing in 2 days! I wasn’t inlove with the cover so I underestimated the content. It was so easy to read and I learned a lot about writing non- fictional books with it. Very easy read and helpful. Thanks
