Lays Out the Steps Clearly for Any Novice
Jennifer's book is a great place to start if you have any interest in eventually getting your own book published. She takes the time to lay out the steps in the different sections of the book of how to do it most efficiently and shares her own experiences to help others be successful. Give it a read. You won't be disappointed!

It won't write your book, but this is the next best thing.
Whether aiming for the traditionally published or indie route this is very helpful. Perhaps more so for the traditionally published as honestly most of us have no idea how to put together book proposals and sample chapters and this lays it out nicely. It can't write the book for us, but this is the next best thing.

Very informative! Covers the aspects of getting a book published most aspiring authors don’t know.
It was helpful as I have dabbled in fictional writing. Understanding the process and putting it together to strengthen the book as a whole in addition to gaining footing to go to publishers was very insightful.

I was dreading this step until now!
Jennifer makes the daunting task of writing a book proposal seem simple and easy! She explains it one step at a time, in detail, and gives great examples at the end of the book. I really was going to make a huge mistake trying to market myself before reading this! I feel like I understand much better what to do :)
