A Five-Star Review Morning (Author Life at Its Best) 🎉📚

And some days, as an author, you wake to a five-star review from a book reviewer. Woot! @springbrookorbillabong

And then find a second five-star review at your book’s Amazon page:

“Writing Reference Books? This Book is a Great Guide”

“Melanie Faith's Writing It Real: Crafting a Reference Book that Sells is a really interesting and in-depth examination of how to craft a reference book (obviously, it's in the title). As an author myself, I've considered writing a reference book, so I was excited to see what insights Faith had for this type of writing. Although I have not written a reference book yet, I definitely think this book will be very beneficial when I undertake this type of writing project.” —Jason S. Wrench
