## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book for aspiring authors
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2021*

I bought this because like so many fellow writers, I am in the process of writing a book.  The best way to gain knowledge on the current state of publishing is to go through the process, but a lot of authors don't share the tips and tricks and many roadblocks writers discover on the way to becoming a successful author. Much like "Writer's Market" revolutionized how non-fiction magazine authors query and land writing gigs, Maum's book is a witty, honest and clear representation of the "end" of the process. If you have been struggling over those last few chapters and have started considering getting published, this book will provide you with a huge amount of information and help you realize that you are, really, just at the beginning of your journey as an author.Maum shares all of her struggles openly, which not only makes for an entertaining read, but she shows you firsthand what not to do while providing a LOT of information on what you should do. For example, she talks clearly about the challenge of wrangling a good agent while understanding that a good agent is a coach who wants to help focus your talent and manuscript rather than one who simply believes there's one product that sells and your writing should conform to that one style or genre.Maum's book is near-perfect. The "finishing" in "A Writer's Guide to Finishing, Publishing, Promoting and Surviving Your First Book" is a bit lackluster and probably should be. Writers have composed thousands of volumes on the writing process alone, so it should be a standalone book. I felt those "finishing" entries were cursory at best, and then we move directly into getting involved in the writing world, which is key for book promotion. So perhaps what I am longing for here is another book on just the process of getting to and through those last chapters that really goes in-depth..

    Excellent, honest, funny
  

*by D***O on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2022*

An inside look at the vast details of publishing your first book, with sage advice from  all corners. Needed quotes from Conservative writers, not just Liberals.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very Comprehensive & Informative
  

*by M***I on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2022*

This book is a great read even though I am only a recreational writer. Very carefully researched and gives many antidotes and advice from other writers. Also got good list from this book of authors to follow and read. I enjoyed & appreciated it. Finishing Ms Maum’s other book The Year of the Horses on audio book and it's good too.
