http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HRF7WK/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_imgAs a writer with 23 books from major publishers, an Agatha nomination, and one book that sold about 20,000 copies; an editor; a publisher; a former writing teacher at four universities in two states; and a Ph.D. in English with a specialty in creative writing, I approached this book very cautiously. I did not expect to learn anything from it.I was wrong.If I were still teaching writing, I would make this required reading for all of my students who were serious about wanting to be published. Noah Lukeman knows the market and the rules, and was kind enough to share it with beginners. But even I, who am in no way a beginner, learned from this book. I recommend it in the highest possible degree.
