MY THOUGHTS

The idea of sitting down one-on-one with more than 100 of the best-known names in Christian publishing and gleaning from their wisdom would delight anyone taking those first steps toward publication or even just considering becoming an author, but of course, it could never happen. With this book, C J Darlington has made that a reality and placed the results as close as the nearest e-reader, and the result is a treasure of a book. As a reader who has had just a peek into the publishing industry, I was fascinated by the assortment of individuals who participated in this project and the scope of advice they gave. I highly recommend this for authors and readers alike.
