Hi Jodie:
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded your PDF book!
Thank you for letting me know I didn't need a Kindle. It made all the difference as to whether or not I could access your book.
I look forward to reading and digesting your tips.
Thank you
Tracy
P.S. As soon as my schedule clears, I'll use your tips to fine tune my middle grade book.
Hi Tracy,
ReplyDeleteI assume you mean you bought the book on Amazon and downloaded it to your PC? I hope you find this book helpful for your middle-grade book. I edit YA and middle-grade books, by the way.
If you find Style that Sizzles helpful, perhaps you'll take a moment to write a brief review on Amazon when you're finished it? I'd really appreciate that!
Thanks a lot!
Jodie :-)
