Inspiring
An inspiring read about one writer's way to get published. Despite rejection after the rejection Lola never gave up and found her way - the hard way - to the top. Never give up!

Simple Useful book
This little 84 page book gives an insight into Author Lola Jaye's journey to getting published. She uses her own story and other peoples' to highlight a few important practical steps that people can take in order to achieve their dreams. The book is applicable to anyone wishing to venture into any given area although she refers a lot to writing because that is what she does.
Its written in simple easy to understand language and can be read by teenagers and adults alike. As an apsiring writer myself I found a few useful tips that I intend to use and it also just encouraged me to keep going and in the words of the author "Reach for the stars."
