2,000 words to 24,000? Wow. I really need to read this book and just hope I get the same inspiration. Kudos to you, my friend.

I'm not a fan of her case against self-publishing. I'm with you. Authors should take advantage of the avenues they have available to them.

Great review!

Hi Mallory,
Nice to see your views. Yeah the book pushed my draft to completion.

Anyway I understood her case against indies. There are some real poor books out there. Besides, she's a publisher so she won't support indies.

I love your personal experience with Book Blueprint. I'm assuming it helped you on a draft for a novel? I like how the book has useful points for fiction writers as well as non-fiction; although, I did find it was written more for non-fiction writers. Tips on how to figure out your target audience are useful for any type of book, though. I think indie writers can definitely get use out of this book, perhaps more so than those going the traditional route, since indie writers are often on their own to write, publish and sell their book. Knowing what makes a good book would be even more crucial for an indie writer.

Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for visiting, my book is non-fictional. I don't think I am creative enough to come up with a fictional story. Well... at least 1000 words max.

Yeah, the tips did appeal more to non-fiction writers, I agree.

Lol. Well, 1000 words is quite a bit. Nicely done on your progress and utilizing Book Blueprint. A review and a testimonial in one!

Hi,
Unfortunately, the editor deducted marks for the testimonial bit :(

I agree with you that this book had no errors. There's one reviewer who downloaded a copy that had numerous errors and he didn't enjoy reading it. I guess the author must have sought professional editing after readers complained. Nice review.

Really! It's one of the most well presented books I've downloaded so far. Though, the author pleads a point on further editing by leaving her email attached, incase you find errors you can email her.
