I listened to this on audiobook. Janet E. was as funny as usual but the format of Q and A was a bit odd. It was still nice to listen to because she sounded like the encouraging mother I never had. (

This is a fun, quick read, and presents very basic advice on writing. Note that about half the book concerns traditional publishing tips, and isn't relevant to self-publishers. She's not a fan of self-publishing, but this was written in 2006, and she doesn't even mention ebooks. (

I enjoyed the non-technical aspects of this. I used the audiobook format, which I enjoyed while I traveled/exercised. It's good information for people who want to write (with the overwhelming thought for everyone being: JUST WRITE, DAMMIT!). Thing is, though, it's a book from the 1990s/2000s - so the technological aspect is way out of date. (

I really enjoy Janet Evanovich's writing. This book left much to be desired. I would have appreciated it more with her actual thoughts rather than a q and a style. (

This is an interesting take from a bestselling author. She really knows how it's down and gives thoughtful answers. I especially liked the chapter on how to find agents, write query letters, and format a manuscript. (
