Excellent source of information
This book provides invaluable information on such topics as writing a book proposal and choosing an agent and even gives an realistic indication of how much you are likely to earn from writing. Written in straight-to-the-point easy to understand format it provides all the information you need. I would say that the book is slightly more suited to non-fiction writers than it is to fiction writers but still provides enough information for both. I would advise anyone who is in the early stages of writing or thinking about writing to buy this, its certainly worth it.

Bible for a new writer
This book "How to get published and make a lot of money" by Susan Page. Has given me motivation to carry on writing, it has given me great insight into what to expect when I have reached the stage to find an agent for my book.

If you are writing for the first time, or thinking of writing a book, this is a MUST. Susan gives lots of tips and advice for new writers.

Simply brilliant
Getting a book published is not just about being able to write well. Many good writers do not get published. Susan Page's book makes you consider your motivation, your hopes and aspirations for your project and your possible market. She makes the whole process seem simple, provided you do the groundwork. You need to write, you need to consider what makes your book different to that of other authors in the same genre and you need to consider what makes your work stand out from the rest. This book specifies everything you need to do to give your work the best possible chance of being published in a simple, no nonsense way. It is easy to read and truly inspiring.
