Handy, Useful Guide, 9 Jun 2002
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Young Writer's Guide to Getting Published (Paperback)
This guide is useful to a certain extent. It does go a bit far by saying remember to put your name on the manuscript. Only joking, its brilliant!!!!!

Good, basic writing book for young people, 9 July 2008
By Theresa Thomas "Catholic Mom of 9" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Young Writer's Guide to Getting Published (Paperback)
THE YOUNG WRITER'S GUIDE TO GETTING PUBLISHED is an excellent resource for an aspiring writer. The book gives complete step-by-step instructions for creating and selling writing material and 'breaking in' to the industry. Highlights include personal profiles of young writers (with photos :) ) who have successfully sold their ideas and gotten published. This book is encouraging, positive, and even includes a list of potential markets for young writers. I like the index for easy use. An improvement for a future edition might be to address internet issues (queries via email, internet submissions, internet markets, etc.) in more depth. Overall, nice job!
