I'm a closet / wanna-be author and I've read my fair share of writing books and blogs. I grabbed this book more on an impulse and am glad that I did. Atwood, being an editor, makes a very compelling argument for hiring an editor for your writing projects. He also provides useful tips on acquiring an editor, interviewing editors, what types of editors there are and how to work with editors. It was very practical and if I ever come out of the closet and actually write something I'll most assuredly pull this book back out to review. The last chapter talks more about the motivations to write and how we measure writing success. It was a very compelling chapter and may have inspired me to carve out a few hours of my day to write. We'll see. If you are a writer, especially a self-publishing writer, then I'd highly recommend this book. ( ) no reviews | add a review
