Reviews
In breezy conversational tones, Canton tells retired workers how to translate their years of expertise into a second career as writers. After a pep talk that challenges retirees to believe in themselves and their competence, Canton gives a crash course in computers and software, then gets down to the business end of writing. Never talking down to his readers, he gives a ground-up plan for building a writing business by using skills acquired in a lifetime of work, both in and outside the home. How to write a query letter, how to negotiate fees, how to punch up a lead--these topics are roundly covered by other writing guides. But whether to buy a copier or use commercial providers, whether to take slides or film, how to become a ghostwriter, and why not to buy a dedicated word processor are not. An excellent book that pegs its target audience perfectly and delivers on all it promises. Patricia Monaghan
