Customer Reviews

Surprisingly Good.

I was suprised at the quality of this book. Clear as a bell, well-written, interesting, and informative. Much better than alot of how-to-write books. A dandy primer for new writers.

A Huge Surprise

I admit it: Helen Gurley Brown has long struck me as being silly and sex mad. I expected nothing when I picked up this book and was pleasantly surprised. There is excellent advice in this book for the begining writer. In fact I now reccomend it to students of the writing class I teach.

A practical and simple book to help a first time writer!

Although this was the first book I have read on the subject of getting published, it was very easy to follow and gave a lot of encouragement and support for a novice writer. Definitely a good start on the road to writing professionally.
