For the hundreds of thousands who buy writers’ guides every year, at last there’s one that tells the ugly truth: writers who can’t get published are usually making a lot of mistakes. This honest, often funny, book shows them how to identify their own missteps, stop listening to bad advice, and get to work. Drawing on his experience as founding editor of MacAdam/Cage, Pat Walsh gives writers what they need—specific, straightforward feedback to help them overcome bad habits and bad luck. He avoids the optimistic, sometimes misleading directions often found in publishing how-to books and presents the industry as it is, warts and all. Here is the first guide that tells writers just what the odds against them are and gives them practical tips for evening them.

This is a true-life inspirational story about a young South African girl, Angelo del Amore, who travelled to Milan two days before her twenty-third birthday for a holiday. Little did she know her entire life was going to change and how much she would inspire and change all those she had met in Milan in a miraculous way. This book is a true fairytale that does not speak about the law of attraction or how the power of positive thought and unconditional love can construct as well as heal in abundance; it merely gives the simple actions of manifestation. Throughout this book you may identify with yourself in every way and be inspired by this Cinderella story and be motivated to follow your heart without question, come what may.
