5.0 out of 5 stars The very best guide on how to get published, 18 Nov 2006
By Oriana "Oriana" (Eastbourne, UK) - See all my reviews
Of all the books I've read on "How to get published", S. Ferris's is the one I have found the most useful. The fact that Ferris started off as an author who ended up self-publishing his first book, then went on to become a (very) successful publisher means that he can give invaluable tips from the perspective of the latter but, and this is where the guy merits any struggling author's eternal gratitude, despite his present success he hasn't forgotten what it's like to face the brick wall which the publishing industry seems to put up against any newcomer not yet adorned with a celebrity tag. Don't be fooled by the fact this book is pocket-sized: that's because Ferris knows how to say in a few words what other authors on the same subject take five chapters to impart. Another point in favour of this gem of a book, viewed from the perspective of the impecunious writer is its price: even the poorest amongst us can afford it. You'd think the major publishing houses would steer as-yet-unknown scribblers in the right direction when sending out their dreaded rejection letters, by recommending this book. It would no doubt drastically reduced their slush piles: armed with Ferris's advice you've got the best chance of actually getting published.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really honest useful book, 18 Sep 2006
By R. Asprey (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really enjoyed reading this book, it's short, so zipped through it in an afternoon. The author tells you the honest truth about why books sometimes get turned down (i.e. because they may have been farmed out to a very inexperienced/ even work experience staff member, just to cut down the slush pile) From working in TV, I know this also happens with programme proposals too!

It's full of really useful advice and I found this rated above many exsisting books on how to get published. It's up to date, having been published in 2005, so definitely worth the £4.99!

After reading this book, I would reccomend trying "How to get published and make a lot of money!" by Susan Page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short and snappy, 23 Aug 2007
I have to agree with the other reviewers here: this is one of the best "how to" books on publishing.

It is easy to read; the tips are practical, proven and up-to-date; the style is witty and amusing.

It is also very cheap!
