Tips and Information for Authors

Fantastic Book!

Recently I received an email from Bryan Collins, from https://becomeawritertoday.com/. He included a must-have book among his recommendations for writers and marketers: Everybody Writes by Ann Handley. This book is an absolute bible with 91 chapters covering everything from writing to marketing rules to ghostwriting. One reviewer even uses it as required reading for his students! I just ordered my copy.

If you purchase the book, be sure that it is the 2nd edition, October 2022, since it claimed to cover much more than the first edition. You can find it on Amazon in Kindle, hard cover and on CD at:​
