From the Back Cover

The real success recipe given here is pretty simple: follow the path that makes you happy. I'm one of the happiest writers around, as most others seem to be constantly complaining about something: agents, publishers, sales, awards, writer's block, etc. So I offer this book up as advice to someone who'd like to do well in a writing career. This is only the beginning of the sources of information you'll be checking out. The more you discover, the more you'll see much of the same good advice being repeated over and over. Most people would rather complain about what's wrong in their lives rather than do something about it, so take the steps on the path you want.

From the Inside Flap

In this business, knowing a piece of information can save you time, money, and frustration. Much good information is here, which took a lot of time to gather, and which should save you hundreds of hours of having to dig it up and learn everything the hard way. There are entire books written on many of the topics here, so this is just the start of your research. No one book could cover everything, because by the time the book was finished (even with a team of writers), the information would be outdated, the book would be more than a thousand pages, and cost more than anyone would want to pay. This way, you likely will spend less time to learn much of what you need to know.
