Authors Access is a great book filled with tons of helpful advice from authors and publishers. Inside I found heaps of useful articles on the different genres, editing, marketing, and using the Internet to promote and help sales. I found many of the articles beneficial to me personally: “Five Tips on Writing Romance” by Sylvia Hubbard, “Publishing a Children’s Book? Better Get a Child’s Opinion First” by Tyler R. Tichelaar, and “Elements of a Quality Book Review” by Tyler R. Tichelaar were three of the most worthwhile for me. Many of the authors were known to me, a few of them I had to look up. This was made easier by the inclusion of websites for the authors at the end of their articles. The addition of the bibliography at the end has led me to many more useful books that have found a place on my bookshelf. Authors Access has shown me how to establish an effective MySpace page and in “Promoting your Book with Social Media and Web 2.0 there is a very good list of sites for book promotion. I found Authors Access to be an immense source of help when it comes to knowledge about promotion, dealing with ‘writer’s block’, and publishing.
