A Welcome Surprise

"Just, wow. I have never imagined I would give even a semi-instructional book five stars for plot! The only thing I have trouble with is structure in some areas. I get a little too invested in her stories sometimes and lose my focus on the point of the chapter; I must say, as far as faults go, being too compelling is not such a bad quality. This author’s writing is captivating, fulfilling some of the human connection I need and drawing me in to feeling invested in her journey. I feel that this piece will never be complete, having room to share more of her journey in achieving publication and even after. Even if I never write a book at all, I feel that reading this was worth it. "

A breath of (much needed) fresh air!

"Even if you don't plan on publishing, you NEED to read this - it's full of insights and perspectives you'd never even think about, much less think to implement or consider in your own writing. It's witty, humourous, engaging and personal; I can't thank Rebecca enough for sharing this, it's truly eye-opening and leaves me eagerly awaiting the next update xD"

An Essential

"Are you a writer? Then there's no question. You ABSOLUTELY want and NEED this book. Trust me on this. The chapters are sharp and cut straight to the point while also managing to be entertaining and enjoyable. The advice and tips in this book are logical and are backed up with the author's own personal experience. Even if you're not a writer, I would still recommend this book, because it's a humorous read and if you ever need to give advice to budding writers this is the perfect book. Every chapter captures the struggles in that particular area, the mistakes that are made and how to avoid them. The technical skills are perfect and the formatting is clear and easy on the eyes. Rebecca clearly knows what she's doing and I would recommend this book to anyone. Excited for chapter 8!!!"

Pure gold

"Everyone needs to read this. I never even heard of a vanity press until I began joining writing groups in Space book (Facebook). I had little interest in publishing with the big publishers either. I don't think my writing is that well crafted -- yet. I published in Kindle and in Inkitt because I just wanted my work -Out there so others could offer me some feed back, so sales and reviews would tell me something about who my audience really is. I am hopeful I am learning enough with my first book that my next one will be a best seller, they make a movie of it, publishing houses will snap it up, I will become rich and famous. Just joking. I just want to enjoy knowing somebody is reading my work and not falling asleep in their cereal. Thank you for your story."

So insightful! Thanks!

"Thank you Rebecca for sharing your journey on the route to publishing. Anyone striving to be an author NEEDS to know these things! She has great insight on editing, beta-readers, feedback and more. I admire Rebecca’s persistence and resilience, it is a gift to get to benefit from her prior experiences and to be warned of the many pitfalls of which I had no idea about. This read was funny, well-written and relatable, and to say the least, incredibly helpful."

A Must Read for Anyone

"When I first saw your wall post about this, I was über excited. Something like this is what I've been looking for as someone who's dreamed about being published since i was little. This guide is so informative and has helped me immensely. One of the works I sit on the edge of my seat waiting to update with new tips and stories. The narrative voice is engaging and as someone who doesn't always read non-fiction, it's quite the treat from the usual bland style many associate with the genre. Your stories add a new depth to the guide and help immensely. I can't wait for more tips and stories. This is a must read whether you plan on branching out into the publishing world or not. "
