5.0 out of 5 stars A good book with a silly title., 18 Dec 2000
Don't be put off by the title. I'm interested in writing and only bought this book because I saw it on special offer and I must confess that I wasn't expecting much from it. I never do with 'How To...' books especially ones that are telling you how to make a lot of money.

In view of this it seems odd (later I found out why*) that the first thing the book does is tells you that your chances of making 'a lot' of money are pretty slim. That only happens with the very small percentage of books that achieve best seller status. There IS money to be made however and after persuading you to reassess why you want to get involved in this writing lark in the first place and set yourself some more realistic goals, this book goes on to offer what appears (I'm yet to test it) to be some very sound advice (from an author whose been there and done it several times over) about how to do it.

* Since reading this book I have had the opportunity to communicate with the author and asked her about the odd title. As she points out in the book itself, it is normal practice for publishers to retain the right to change the title of the book as they see fit and this is what the UK publisher chose to do. A much more appropriate title would have been the heading for the first and main section of the book which is: 'Everything You Need To Know To Get Published Successfully In The Order You Need To Know It'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bible for a new writer, 6 Dec 2003
This book "How to get published and make a lot of money" by Susan Page. Has given me motivation to carry on writing, it has given me great insight into what to expect when I have reached the stage to find an agent for my book.

If you are writing for the first time, or thinking of writing a book, this is a MUST. Susan gives lots of tips and advice for new writers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply brilliant, 20 Aug 2003
By A Customer
Getting a book published is not just about being able to write well. Many good writers do not get published. Susan Page's book makes you consider your motivation, your hopes and aspirations for your project and your possible market. She makes the whole process seem simple, provided you do the groundwork. You need to write, you need to consider what makes your book different to that of other authors in the same genre and you need to consider what makes your work stand out from the rest. This book specifies everything you need to do to give your work the best possible chance of being published in a simple, no nonsense way. It is easy to read and truly inspiring.
