All I can say is THANK YOU! What a simple, comprehensive, and instructional book on querying, agent, and creating an author platform. I would be lost without you Writer's Digest.
I'm a first time author who hired her first editor today. I have been casually reading through this guide and found every chapter to be important, relevant, and interesting. It's like bite-sized suggestions to improve your odds of writing glory.
I only give 5 stars when I think a book can't be improved upon. Achievement unlocked. Highly recommend for all authors or want-to-be-authors.

It won't make you a published author overnight, but it certainly helps. The reassuring tone is nice and the advice is straight forward. Definitely needs to be on every writer's bookshelf as they take the plunge into publishing.
