Full of important information,
This review is from: Publish Your Own Novel: Get Your Book Into Print and Into the Stores Now! (Paperback)
Ms. Shelton's Publish Your Own Novel is a must-have for not only the self-publisher, but the commercially published as well. The information she gives us is important to know whether or not we self-publish. It gives us an inside look at the publishing business. Written in a down-to-earth, chatty, easy to understand manner. The 50 Quick and Cheap Promotion Ideas and the 79 pages of resouce information, alone, are worth the price of the book. Of the 4 books on selp-publishing that are in my bookcase, Connie Shelton's is the one I reach for when I need to know something.
