Are those 5-star reviews for real or are they the publisher's plants? Based on this book, it's hard to believe that the author earns a living by writing.

Oooh, I love this.:
This book absolutely covers everything a writer could possibly want to know about writing and selling to magazines. It is a point-by-point easy to follow guide and a goldmine of great innovative ideas from a fellow author who knows her stuff. I highly recommend this book for any writer or anyone hoping to break into the writing field.
Concise and readable advice.:
I read this book, followed the advice, and got published. Unlike some dry how-to books, this one is a breeze to read. It focuses on the low-tech approach of mailing out queries and manuscripts - I suppose some people do it all online now.
A great book!:
I had never sold any writing before reading this book and sold about 8 "how to articles" to magazines after reading it. Eva has a newer book out on this subject now, that I have not read yet but it has great reviews. This is a "how to" book that really gives results!
