[stylist] FW: new writers booklet - post this and pass it along - share it on facebook - thanks

My thoughts for what they're worth.

1. Wow! 5-6 weeks is waaaaaaay to long for any 
publication these days. Ebooks are the norm with 
total purchase to reading time less than 
5-minutes. This might indicate this person is not 
in-tune with current methods? I'm already 
skeptical of knowledge I'd learn based off the 
huge changes in social media 
marketing/purchasing/delivery methods. Geez I 
hope this isn't a relative or personal friend 'grin'.

2. I assume too this is a print publication 
rather than accessible electronic material.

3. Check or money order? Similar to #1 comments. 
If this book is what it says, this person is 
leaving a lot of opportunity out to pasture without at least Paypaloptions.

4. I wasn't drawn in enough by the text/content 
to be convinced  to get out a checkbook much less 
log on Paypal if it were an option. But then I'm 
not in the market for producing a manuscript.

Sorry if that seems synical or skeptical, there's 
a ton of "How to" stuff out there and much of it 
is free or carries some validation of an 
organization or proven writer. It might take some 
investment in Google time but the big thing today 
is edumarketing, giving information away, and 
while maybe only one aspect is given by one 
person, you can collectively get lots of ideas and answers.
