Have you seen the December 2011 issue of The Writer<\/em>, yet? This is the one wherein they list my book among their top 10 of this year\u2019s \u201cterrific writing books.\u201d (See pages 19-21.) Chuck Leddy, a reviewer and member of the National Book Critics Circle, wrote this article. <\/p>\n

Promote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author<\/em> is listed in the number four spot, right after comedy writer, Gene Perret\u2019s book, Write Your Book, Now<\/em>! In fact, my book is the only one related to book promotion or even the business of writing. All the rest seem to be focused on the craft of writing. There\u2019s also one about the history of proper language and one on the future of books. This is certainly an interesting array of titles. One of the book titles is, An Absolutely Phony Guide on How to Write More Good<\/em>. It says on the front cover that this book is presented by Fake AP Stylebook. The focus of this book is how not to succeed as a journalist. Sounds hilariously off the wall.<\/p>\n

Also in this issue of The Writer<\/em>, are articles for poets, fiction writers, journalists and authors. I notice that this magazine still leans heavily toward the freelance writer and the writer of fiction. While they are now including information and resources for authors who are or hope to be published, this doesn\u2019t seem to be their primary audience. <\/p>\n
