Publishing Advice, Query Letters and a Little Wit
By Marc Sadowski

      Publishing Advice, Query Letters and a Little Wit by Marc Sadowski is more of an e-tutorial than an e-book, but this does not diminish its value.

     This is one author’s chatty run-down of what he has learned as a new author, a mini seminar-on-a-page, or rather 24 pages. It is a perfect way for a novice writer to begin to see all the tangled and twisted fibers that go into getting his first piece published.

     Sadowski has a self-deprecating sense of humor that works well in terms of advising authors about the query/rejection process. He is able to expose his own first effort at a query letter (which isn’t all as pitiful as he supposes) as a point of departure for learning how to, well….do better. This could only be done by someone who has a grasp not only on the absurdity of the entire submission process but a respect for the rules of the game.

     Available for $ 12.99 at www.bookink.com/. This e-book is not for veterans of the publishing world. It is meant for anyone who has written but never approached agents or publishers. It also might be essential for an author who has a slew of rejection slips in a file and has no idea why this whole job of publishing seems so darn hard.
