This book is almost bibical! I am an author with a book due to be released November 2007. This book without a doubt is well written, full of insider information as well as information from an author's perspective.
I constantly refer to the book (hence the bible reference) and reread sections that may help me at whatever point I'm at in my marketing campaign. It is an empowering book for those seeking the best publicity, marketing, and venues for their creative works.
Ms. Warren's book has educated me regarding the importance of ME being present in my book's life!
