An Encouraging Read for Writers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I am in the very early pages of my reading "How I Got Published", but thus far I'm favorably impressed with the book. Numerous writers express (sometimes in eloquent language) how they got their writings published. What I would like to have is a book that juxtaposes the articles by successful writers -- who DID get published -- with others who FAILED to be published. This might help an aspiring writer figure out what qualities led the successful ones toward success, versus the unsuccessful ones who did not manage to find a publisher for their writings. I'm giving the book 4 stars, because I regard it as well worth buying for those among us who aspire to become successful writers.
It delivers

I was so curious as to how other authors got published. This book is a great compilation of authors in their own words. Some take the question seriously and provide a step by step guide. Others might it a creative writing assignment. Clive Cusser's story is the best. It gave me encouragement and entertained me.
Both an inspirational text and a handy guidebook

How I Got Published: Famous Authors Tell You in Their Own Words is an anthology of true anecdotes from a wide variety of successful authors telling how they managed to break into the business and launch a successful writing career, all in their own words. Editors Ray White and Duane Lindsay have also peppered How I Got Published with general tips, tricks, and techniques for would-be authors, including ten "absolute" rules to follow for publishing success. From the importance of sheer bloody-minded stubbornness, to making connections with literary agents and editors, to the value of joining a critique group, how to not take rejections personally, and much more, How I Got Published is both an inspirational text and a handy guidebook to how breaking into the publishing world really works.
