Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 FREELANCE WRITING ADVICE:
Outdated but still a classic: When I was looking for business inspiration recently, a friend let me borrow this book. I think that the book's value comes from forcing you to look at your writing income in a whole new way. Bly's book helped me to earn money from my writing: When the first edition of this book came out, I bought a copy and immediately followed its practical suggestions --- and attracted business in my field (education)! Bly is another author who speaks to you in a conversational tone and tells you how to start. But he doesn't stop there. He includes actual examples of what he has done and what has worked for him. For example, Bly includes a sample letter that he sent to prospects. I thought that was great and wished he had included a few more. Great for starting a copywriting business: Although this book is not new, it is still a great book to use for starting a copywriting business. It helps you establish fees, go after business and much more. A great book.

Eat, Pray, Love from Penguin Customer Review:  So I got this book because of the movie. I struggled to read it. The author goes into tooooo much detail about things and it just drags on. She also writes the book for higher level readers which turns me off since there is toooo much detail |

Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition from American Psychological Association (APA) Price: $21.99 Customer Review:  As an academician, I do a lot of research work. This book has made it very easy for me to do the proper referencing in my research papers. On top of this, I like the details on research writing such as 'How to express ideas and reducing bias in language'. As English is not my first language, this... |

Sharp Writing: Building Better Writing Skills from Kaplan Test Prep Customer Review:  Kaplan's "Sharp Writing" is a practical overview of grammar and usage, but is quite basic. If you are looking for a book that will provide you with more "Style" advice than grammar, I would recommend Style: Toward Clarity and Grace (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing). I would... |

"They Say / I Say": The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing (Second Edition) from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $16.71 Customer Review:  The book is generally poorly written. It is extremely colloquial, and thus could be of use for teaching younger students. However, for an educated audience (college level), it is extremely weak and close to useless. I was assigned this book for an introductory writing course at my college and was... |

How To Speak And Write Correctly from Plain Label Books Customer Review: This seems to be a pretty comprehensive guide to English grammar which is to the point. There are plenty of useful examples and it covers common mistakes as well as how to write and speak clearly. Best of all it's free. What's not to like? |

Life on the Mississippi from General Books LLC Price: $11.98 Customer Review: Had Twain stopped after the first section, in which he describes riverboat piloting and his exploits therein, I would have come away with a positive impression of the book. His piloting writings were entertaining and interesting, even though not particularly relevant in today's world. However... |

Northanger Abbey (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jane Austen) from Cambridge University Press Price: $83.99 Customer Review: Jane Austen's first completed novel is lighter and more humorous in tone than her subsequent work. It is however, as beautifully written as that later work - there was, as always with Austen, a lot of rewriting before publication, which in this case was posthumous - and it is in no sense an inferior... |

A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Seventh Edition: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing) from University Of Chicago Press Price: $9.94 Customer Review: I had to buy this for my honors thesis course in college, but ended up never having to use it. You could easily find anything useful in this book for free online. This book was too long and too expensive. |

A Pocket Style Manual with 2009 MLA and 2010 APA Updates from Bedford/St. Martin's Price: $23.00 Customer Review:  Our order was scheduled for 24 hour delivery. It disappeared.

Frankenstein (Longman Cultural Editions) from Longman Price: $8.95 Customer Review: My daughter had to read this book over the summer for a grade in her Honors English class. I liked the fact that it was cheap, but on the other hand, what I paid for shipping I could have went ahead and purchased it out of the store. I wasn't to thrilled about that! |

Pride and Prejudice, A Longman Cultural Edition from Longman Price: $10.00 Customer Review: Amazon has started lumping together all of the reviews for the various versions of a title, even if the review doesn't pertain to that particular version. The review by Forestlawn, above, is a prime example. Their review has to do, apparently, with a 48 page printed book, and not the audio book... |

The Craft of Research, Third Edition (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing) from University Of Chicago Press Price: $9.49 Customer Review: Research is most definitely a craft and as with all research books, there is a great deal written about scientific research and medical research. Generic research guides do little to offer help to Musicological research. Yet this is a helpful resource tool if taken generically. |

A Writer's Reference with 2009 MLA and 2010 APA Updates from Bedford/St. Martin's Price: $49.99 Customer Review: It was not the book advertised--close, it was the red dot 2009 MLA updates but no APA updates. My professor said it will work--but really need updated version. Need to be careful you are getting the right product. I did not realize it was the wrong one until my professor said it does not have the... |

Exercises to Accompany A Writer's Reference from Bedford/St. Martin's Price: $7.38 Customer Review: This book is a must have for anyone attending college that has to write papers. It will guide you through citing your references correctly. I would have been lost without it.
