"An original. This handbook is essential for all authors to improve their creative writing skills with the ultimate goal of publishing.

An excellent classroom tool for exercises on creative writing. The summaries of writing styles by various authors are robust. This addition strengthens the lessons on creative writing techniques. My favorite is the example from Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God. The vivid language helps readers picture the characters in their minds. 

The illustrations on obtaining the publishing essentials, such as copyright, ISBN, permission rights, and so forth, are invaluable."

"I followed the steps and converted my Word document into book format and digital files, and then uploaded the files onto my distributor's website. And presto! I self-published The Women of Matawale and Other Stories."
