This book was recommended in an on-line chat (Washington Post??)for those of us who carry the beginnings of a book around in our heads and never get past the "thinking-about-it" stage. The authors are husband and wife who both have published works. He is the brother of humorist Dave Barry, and he is "famous" for actually writing a book on playing the harmonica.

While there are hundreds of books which tell you to "write every day and write about what you know" for mentally constipated would-be authors, this one also talks about building a marketing base, acquiring an agent, getting a publisher and what happens after the manuscript becomes an actual object. In other words, "I've been there, done that, bought the tee-shirt and here is what you look for as you follow me down the trail." Your experience may be different, but it is nice to have the advice of someone who has really walked down the path you want to follow.

In short, it's worth the money.

I have a friend who sends me to sites and videos about how to create and sell Kindle books. I already have a Kindle book while they have yet to write one. Well maybe you are like me and want to find a book to gift to a friend to get them motivated or maybe you have a book idea and just need a good push in the direction of publishing. Either way this is an excellent choice. The authors encourage you to never give up until you are published. They give advice on publishing professionally and don't spend much time talking about self-publishing. They do talk about rejection letters however. Some authors mentioned in this book received over 150 rejection letters and now they are wildly famous. So persistence pays off in many cases. This book contains a chapter on finding an agent and gives advice on how to write query letters. They spend a bit of time explaining publicity and marketing. If you have a book you want to write and just need a little motivation then this might be the perfect book for you. Personally this is the book I want to send to all my friends.

I did! Thanks.

There are some humorous and helpful things in the beginning of the book. In the last few chapters on what to do after it is published, it fell apart for me. No independent writer has the time to do what is suggested. If your mainstream you do what you're told. After being published, all a writer can do is write.

My copy of "Write that book Already" arrived a few days ago, and I went through it rather quickly and with ease. Well written, and witty, it offers all the basics with a spoonful of humor and tidbits you won't find anywhere else. It covers all the obvious basics, getting great ideas down, submitting manuscripts, writing cover letters, and of course, handling rejection. What is added is inserts on the pages called, "Tough Love from the Author Enablers" where Sam and Kathi add some added info, or insight, that they have which offers unique information they have collected over their careers in the author/publication business. The glossary in the back was extensive and even had a couple of terms I hadn't run across, but the chapter with a variety of famous authors sharing their favorite books and tips again was something you won't find in mainstream writing help books. Since there are so many people offering this type of advice, getting it straight from successful authors, and their particular experience, added a refreshing twist to an otherwise well researched topic. There were a few additional surprises, including Kathi's now famous Matzo balls recipe, and possible dialogs of phone calls you may receive and how you may want to respond. In today's market, it is said that only 10% of success is writing the book, and the rest is in the marketing, including all the new media, (i.e. Facebook, twitter, blogs, etc). This is covered to some extent as well. This came at a good time, since I am working on three writing projects, one of them a collaborative effort, as a co-author. This book helped me get a better feel for how I would approach the complexity of getting the information down. I will be passing it onto two colleagues currently beginning their own writing projects.

I was pleasantly surprised when I finally stopped procrastinating and started reading this book. It was like eating chocolate: I didn't want to stop. The writers gave a fact-filled, step-by-step account of the process of writing and publishing a book. But, the real hook was the humor throughout. The book includes the experiences of other authors, which makes this a valuable resource.

The author enablers (as they call themselves) talk about the history
of writing, how to submit fiction and nonfiction, how to write, and
other things that a writer needs to know. Must read.
