Throughout the 72 pages of excellent, proven advice I became impressed by evidence that she practices what she preaches. I discovered only one misspelling (position 946 the word 'chances' should be changes. For a Kindle book to have only one (so far as I recall) typo is incredible. Even I am less successful at cutting typing errors.Her main thrust is to convince writers to first conduct real research into their topic; establish an outline, then type at a furious rate that is only possible when the writer truly knows what they're writing about. To paraphrase Hendrickson, any fake can type thousands of words of crap about stuff they claim to know, but most readers will see the errors and hogwash for the crap it is.I also greatly appreciated the links she provided, especially to designer/for matters/editors she uses and liked that she has no affiliate links.A few of the points made in this book were quite alike the tips in most other books, but Hendrickson had a slightly different method to explain them, which was refreshing.I believe the best parts were her description for the outline and for either conducting deep research or interviewing an expert.How to Write for Kindle: A Non-Fiction Book in 72-Hours or Less is a must-read for even seasoned writers. It's a 72-page jewel every writer will want.
