Very helpful
This a great guide for anyone new to the publishing scene. No matter how great your writing and grammar skills are, you will need a book like this to help you learn how to prepare a manuscript properly. It is also very nicely written and enjoyable to work through.

A waste of time and money
This book is beyond basic; it doesn't even work as a 'For Dummies' title. There was no useful information about setting up a business or finding clients. Plus, the spelling and grammar were inconsistent throughout -- ironic for a book on becoming a freelance writer, proofreader, copyeditor, etc. I returned this book and look forward to getting my money back!
