This book is ludicrous at its best!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Writing Non-Fiction and Getting Published (Paperback)
If I could give this book 0 I would, but I do not have that option. For trying to teach others, she can't even get her own spellings and chapters in order! She says in chap 1 (the introduction) that you can find more on certain processes on articles in chap 4 (it is not 4 it is 5) and on books in chap. 5 (it is not, it is in chap. 6) For someone who is telling us to check our spelling she spells the word 'organize' as 'organise'! For example pages: 23, 24 & 32. She often says in this book to check and re check our grammer before submitting it to a prospective publisher. She goes on to say that by doing this we might be looked down upon as a new author trying to break into the business. How the hell did she get this non sense book of hers published to begin with? I will be re turning this book to Amazon hoping for a refund. I have owned this book for 6 hours and if it were winter I would use it at best to start a fire! DO NOT buy this book! It is a waste of print and paper!

Nice resource of basic information,
By Jacqui Herrmann - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Writing Non-Fiction and Getting Published (Paperback)
This was the first book I ever purchased online ... a number of years ago:-)The book gives all the basic information required to start writing articles for magazines and also putting together a book proposal for a nonfiction book. My only criticism is that more information could have been included on the actual writing process. 4 of 16 people found the following review helpful

It is "organise" in the UK,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Writing Non-Fiction and Getting Published (Paperback)
I haven't read this book or anything else by Janet McaDonald and don't wish to comment on the book itself (I gave it three stars only because I had to enter something in the field). However, in fairness to the author it should be noted that she spelled "organize" correctly for her part of the world. British spellings often differ slightly from their American counterparts.
