It's the complete whole, written by a publisher whose experience extends into traditional & self-publishing, fiction & nonfiction. I didn't believe I'd find anything new in it... Man, was I wrong! It trains [authors] in not only what actions to take, but the mindset behind that leads to success. I have never found a single book or resource that I felt comfortable referring to... until now.
