Perfect!, July 20 2006
By Mazel "The Storygirl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Writer's Little Instruction Book - Getting Published (Paperback)
Well, perfect for what I got it for. As a young writer (I'm eighteen), I was wary of buying a big, thick book on writing full of rules--I was afraid it would restrict my writing so that it lost any life I have been able to infuse it with. I had already bought different books to improve my spelling, grammar, and vocabulary, which were daunting enough. I also knew that plenty of stuff is published all the time that I think is terribly written and conceived--how was I to know the author of the book on writing even knew what he was talking about? But this book, a collection of quotes from lots of different writers, I felt comfortable with. I like to read one or two quotes and think over them myself to discover or discard the merit they hold before I write. Self-teaching (with a few nudges in the right direction) is the best method.

A Writer's Writer Gets to the Point, Jun 10 2007
By Kes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Writer's Little Instruction Book - Getting Published (Paperback)
Paul Raymond Martin is a writer's writer and knows the craft and the business. His book may seem deceptively slim, but that is only because he does not waste words, and certainly does not waste your money or your time with needless overwrought advice.This book is a gift not only in giving tips for publication. That's easy. The book also helps writers improve their craft and feel enthusiastic about writing even as they pursue the often frightening world of 'getting published.'
I never wanted to buy a book about getting published. The entire thought overwhelmed me. However, I look forward to opening Mr. Martin's book for inspiration.
