New Self-Help Guide
UPDATE: I pulled the guide from smashwords because the formatting had too many errors. I am releasing it on Amazon in paperback, because it looks nice there. It’s full color, but not full 8X11.

“You were so quick to turnaround 5 chapters – close to 50 pages almost. You provided basically a comment on each page, identifying a passage or line that was confusing, redundant, or could otherwise be improved.

You would comment on fixes I should have worked through already, like writing ‘you’ instead of ‘your’ or removing an extra comma, and you also noted your reactions at various points throughout which is great to help me understand how the reader might react. – Shannon @TheWriteRambler
