What I like about this book is how the author teaches to define what information is matters and what is just trash. Additionally, what it also provides rather than just tips on how to write an awesome biography (which can basically be found on sites like biographytemplate.org or wikihow.com) is how to find a publisher which is quite hard for a new writer who hasn't got any connections and have no idea where to start.
