Rather than put self-help writers on a pedestal, it might be more productive for the reader to conclude, I can do that! And if you can, here's another book for you to read. It's about using your credentials to develop a simple proposal and writing sample, and how to construct an outline, come up with a title no one can ignore, and write a sample chapter. Most important, the exact marketing procedures described herein have been used to get books published. That's because the author bring years of experience as an editor and ghostwriter into the subject matter of this book, and she knows what works and what doesn't. Stine maintains that writing a successful self-help or how-to book is very easy, and you will tend to agree after reading the first few pages of hers.
