“I loved (this book)…” “…reading it I imagine that a buddy of mine and I are sitting down at a table tinkering with a manuscript…”  “…this is not a work of some dilatant.”  “…The author comes across as a guy who has been “around the block,” and then some. The tone of this work in a word is, sincerity.“  “…there is SO much good, informative and vital information you need in here. “  “(This book)  should be the only textbook in the class, “You 're An Author?” “… sooner or later every writer who wants a shot at publishing is going to need it.”

Michael Kaiser; Author, Literary Blogger

“This is a fantastically useful tool for any Indie author.” “This is an indispensable job aid, which should sit in the lower right hand of corner of any budding writer's desk.”  “Mr. McFarland has produced an extremely useful manual for indie authors seeking advice on how to publish, print, market, distribute and sell their work.”

“…(this book) should be on every author’s bookshelf. “  “…(the book is) informative without being overbearing. It’s like talking with a friend who knows about the business…” “a friend who has been in the trenches of publishing… “ “…(New Authors’) pocketbooks are safer (from swindling) with this book!...”  “…(this book) keeps the author that wants to publish safe.”

Jacqueline Hansen, Author, Book Editor

“…a book like this (would be very) useful to someone venturing into these murky waters.” Is (the book) clear? The writer is knowledgeable? The information valuable?  “Yes…”  “Yes...” (and) “Yes.”  Would you recommend (the book) to new authors? “Yes (!)” “I liked the way (things are) spelled out. The by-the-numbers outline of what one can actually do about things is (great). The “Hustler Alerts” are a nice touch.”

“…this a gem for new authors…”” it’s a superb… informative piece that has real value (not regurgitated garbage) that WILL help people. “…(the book) is written in a friendly, caring manner…. “ “…a very original style…:  “gives (one) a sense of connection to the author, like a friend who cares…”. “You are the real deal…” “Your book is a very relevant informative piece”
