thecandlelightlibrary 's review for:
I generally try to avoid giving 1-star and 2-star reviews, but I was quite disappointed with this and feel I should explain why:
1. This "book" is 4 pages, so I am glad it was free on Amazon. From the positive reviews on Amazon, perhaps I received only a sample of the book, however, since the portion I received read like a summary I unfortunately don't believe I would be interested in reading anything further.
2. I felt the title was misleading from the suggestions. Of the 8 suggestions included, all were common sense advice for any writer (not just those interested in self-publishing) and frankly, every writer should complete these before handing their manuscript off to a second set of eyes.
3. I was really hoping for more in-depth and more unique ideas of how to take your manuscript editing up a notch. What does the author do differently in her editing process than other writers, and how long does she spend on each step? Why should you take the author's advice - what life experiences have taught her this information (I'm not saying the author should turn the focus of this book to stories of her life, but more to explain "I've written __ books and received these acknowledgements and here's what I've learned")?
