It also assumes that the reader is not very computer savvy. Using some of this information in a Dummies Guide to SEO would be fine.
Unfortunately, for anyone with even a tiny amount of knowledge, it was a lot of wading through constant definitions and trying to find even a kernel of helpful knowledge for using SEO better.

I am coming to copy as a beginner and didn't really understand what the difference was between it and content writing before reading this book. This had a lot of great tips and was formatted well for easy reading from beginning to end, but also for reference reading and topic choosing.
Only 4 Stars, as it does kind of have the feel of someone taking a bunch of prior posts and putting it together into a book....more

I highly recommend this book. It identifies every time that I can't LOVE another book because I can't emotionally connect to the characters and how important that is for me.
My only complaint is that Lisa Cron sometimes uses absolutist points that grate on me, which is why I can only give it 4 stars....more

This is a book that I have wanted to read for a while. I was so happy when I found this combined copy of both books. Stephen Hawking may have been an asshole to some, but no one can question his genius mind. His witty, dry humor also makes this more of an enjoyable read.
The formatting of this book is well thought out and makes it enjoyable to read. I especially love the inset illustrations to help explain the concept of the universe and time.
Highly recommend that everyone checks this one out at least once in their life.

It is interesting to see how far technology in publishing and writing has come since this advice was first given out, but that does not mean that this book does not hold value.
There are many great passages offering advice, especially for debut authors such as myself, who can learn how to make my novel stand out from the mountain of potential ideas being critiqued each day by agents and publishers. There are many ways to get rejected, and knowing about them is a big part of figuring out what to do instead.

I love the different viewpoints on genres since many of the articles and books I have previously read are told from an author's perspective.
It has already proved invaluable for my Genre assignments, and I keep going back to it to re-read passages, especially during my microburst writing assignments.
