Writers at all levels and interests would be wise to invest in this well-crafted manual. The Successful Writer's Handbook is especially of value to the newer writer desiring a quick start in the business, or the writer who needs to jumpstart a career, but of help to everyone. Also has chapters for the writer tackling book authoring. Included: 7 Rules for Crushing Writer's Block, Query Etiquette and Expertise, Recycle and Profit, The Book Proposal, Publish Your Own Book -- a Timeline, 10 Ways to Recession-proof Your Writing Business, Spring Cleaning for Writers and lots more. Patricia Fry has written an excellent basic reference for writers who aspire to make a living from their work. Of course, there are many such books on the market, but this goes a few steps farther in several areas, such as recycling previously written work and selling it again in several ways for additional income with little extra effort. The book reads as though she were giving you good advice across the kitchen table. Ms. Fry is an established writer with many published articles to her credit. The Successful Writer's Handbook is one of a group of 12 books she has produced. Chapters are short, lucid and to the point. Good solid writing suggestions are offered for enabling the reader to understand what is needed if a successful writing career is in their future. This book can be an excellent tool for both the novice and the more advanced writer. Whether you're in love with writing but haven't begun to do it professionally or you've finished writing a novel and are waiting to get it published, you could find something useful in this book. It covers a wide range of areas in the field of writing from taking that first step towards being a freelance writer to writing a book and marketing it. The keyword in the title of Patricia Fry's new book is "successful." She provides literally hundreds of suggestions for any writer from the beginner to published authors, to be successful. The Successful Writer's Handbook contains reality-based advice written from the true perspective of a real-life experienced writer.
