Most books on how to sell your work are awful and this is no exeption. These books tend to range from etremely good to just down right bad with none in the middle. This is the WORST book I have read. The advice is poor and will not get a new writer in the door. A good manuscript does not sell itself, its who the writer knows that sells their work. Yes, published writers give their advice, but its not good advice.
There are better how to get published books out on the market. This one is definately not worth the writer's time.
