A blog about my writing, books, others' articles
How did you become involved with the subject or theme of your book? My eighteen-year-old daughter Timora died of leukemia in 2001. My book is a memoir of my journey with her while she was ill, then without her after she left this world. Why did you choose to write in your particular field or [...]
Congratulations! Maybe you just signed your first book contract. Maybe you self-published a book. Or maybe you’ve even had a book out there for a little while and not much is happening with it. Whatever the case, there are some basic steps you can take to up your chances of getting your book into readers’ [...]
Mar 06, 2011 Neil Leckman rated it I enjoyed this book for several reasons, first and foremost would be the writing itself. If a book isn’t well written I’m falling away after the first two pages.
