Writing Advice That Works, Sep 22 2008
By Bill Wilbur: Author of SARAGOSA "Bill Wilbur" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Damn the Rejections, Full Speed Ahead: The Bumpy Road to Getting Published (Hardcover)
Maralys Wills is a wealth of information when it comes to writing. No matter whether you are a newcomer to the rocky terrain of writing, or if you have written for years, Maralys offers guidance we all need to be aware of. I am living proof that her methods work. I was a student in her class and have enjoyed the thrill of publication. And I am not the only one. Maralys has several hash marks in her win column when it comes to her students. Several have acheived success and we all owe a great debt of gratitude to the woman who inspired us, guided us, and ultimately made us better writers.

damn the rejections, full speed ahead, July 9 2011
By Patricia Walker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Damn the Rejections, Full Speed Ahead: The Bumpy Road to Getting Published (Hardcover)
I have read "Damn the Rejections, Full Speed Ahead" at least a half-dozen times. Now, I always keep it close by when I am writing. It is filled with advice which helps me solve any problems I encounter. It is without doubt the best "how-to-write" book I have ever read.

Like reading a great novel, April 20 2012
By maxine - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Damn the Rejections, Full Speed Ahead: The Bumpy Road to Getting Published (Paperback)
I've read tons of self-help books, many in the area of writing. And none of them were as informative, inspirational, and plain old "good writing" as Damn the Rejections.Finally, an author who isn't sugar-coating what it takes to get published. I'm ready to read more from this author. You will too.
