Inside Book Publishing Reviews
-
Tons of great information but a very, very dry read.
-
Just like I said with the other textbook, if I'm going to sit and read it in my holidays and use up reading time that could go to other books (although, 99% of my books are now packed up for a move that has now been delayed - woe. Unnecessary snapshot into my life), then I'm damn well including it in my reading challenge for 2014. Yep.
-
A very informative work on the basics of publishing. It is a somewhat dry read, but it does cover what you need. It includes lists of additional reading if you like them (I do). Recommended, but not exactly an easy read.
-
Very informative book. Will raise star level if I get a job using its advice!
-
Bit of pre-MA reading!
