I got this totally unsolicited testimonial from reader Jane Genova. So if you've been beating yourself up for wasting so much of your time reading my blog, you don't need to anymore:

"Eighteen hours after mediabistro.com Toolbox section put a link to my blog posting "Publishing A Book - Still the Price of Entry," I had a contract to ghostwrite a 165-page book which we publish through iuniverse.com. Ironically, the lion's share of the posting was about how to write your own book. Reference to my ghostwriting services was an aside. Thank you mediabistro.com."
