Della Galton has a breezy, friendly style which makes the book very readable, with plenty to inspire and encourage. There are tips from other writers at the end of most chapters.
My only minor problem with this book was that the pages weren't laid out very well - there were fairly frequent places where a heading of a new section within a chapter was at the bottom of the previous page. But even that didn't distract from the excellence of the writing and advice. ( )
