Lame and disappointing, this book was not humorous, nor sexy/erotic... Maybe vaguely naughty, but definitely dull. I enjoy Austen and I occasionally enjoy imaginings of Austen's characters in the bedroom, but this book was a waste of my time. Don't bother.

I think the author should have done a little more research into styles of pre-Victorian erotica before putting pen to paper. It's all very well to try and mimic Austen's voice, but when it comes out like fan fiction sex it is funny for all the wrong reasons. The writing felt forced, it did not read smoothly like Austen (despite her paragraph long sentences), dialogue didn't show the same depth in characters, and I thought it all rather trivial.

They’ve done it again. Talk about taking the mystery out of getting your book in front of a publisher. This is the bible every author should read while thinking of writing, writing, and every aspect of post-writing that involves your book.
This is the step-by-step whodunit of how to write, sell, and successfully market your book. In a fun upbeat fashion this husband and wife team, literature agent and writer, explain everything you have ever wanted to know about what to do next. Turning over every stone along the way, they leave no clue uncovered to help you get what you have written in the hands of the publisher.
Interspersing humorous and realistic examples and lessons on what to do, or not do, and supplying sample proposals and query letters, there is nothing left to chance. This is an updated version of a prior self-help tome, “How to Turn Your Passion Into Print,” their last joint venture that has been updated for the 21st Century with details on social networking and e-publishing.
Need to find an agent, use an editor, understand your contract, or write an elevator pitch? The answer to everything you could possibly need to know is here – and a lot more besides. This is the book that demystifies every step of the publishing process and should be in your reference library.
