I really looked forward to reading this book. Being a reader, but more importantly a writer, it was something I hoped I would be able to use in areas that I was lacking in. Well, I am so glad I choose to review this book. I have been a writer for almost 5 years. I got started in scripts, which lead me into children's stories. I have had one published through a writing contest but that is it. I have wanted to take all of my writings much further but honestly I didn't have a clue where to start. Sure I had read books on how to improve my writing skills but I could find anything on the market that made the next process easier to understand. Contacts, agents, submissions, query letter, and I had never heard of a book proposal before.

This book shows you step-by-step each and everything you need to do in getting your work published. For me the most impressive part was the book proposal and query letter. I had heard about the mysterious query letter, but I could never find anyone to go into details about it. Patricia, you did that, and you did it well. Nothing complicated, just straight forward
