Recenzii
"A smart and stylish guide to writing and publishing a nonfiction book."
“Absolute instructional dynamite. So smart, so comprehensive, so assured, so essential that a writer won’t need any other guidance. TCETAG: Where the hell have you been all our lives? No matter, you’ve finally arrived. Read and be utterly illuminated.”
“Finally! Here is a clear road map to accomplish what every author wants: to write a book that matters. If you have expert advice or important knowledge to share, The Complete Expert-to-Author Guide provides a step-by-step approach to bringing your book into the world.”
“This is the indispensable authors’ guide to developing a book’s raison d’être; writing sparkling, authoritative content; creating a compelling proposal; and garnering a publishing contract. Everything you need to know is within its cover. Highly recommended.
“This book is like having two seasoned editors sitting beside you, gently guiding you from idea to finished manuscript. Marisa Solis and Elizabeth Dougherty don’t just teach writing—they teach clarity, focus, and the mindset of an author.”
“As a busy agent, I hate when I have to pass on a project simply because the proposal doesn’t yet reflect the depth or potential of the idea. The Complete Expert-to-Author Guide shows prescriptive nonfiction authors how to put their very best work on the page, bridging the gap between ‘a clever idea’ and ‘a publishable book that commands attention.’”
“As a three-time nonfiction book author, this is the resource I wish I had had when I started out. Marisa Solis and Elizabeth Dougherty offer an accessible, step-by-step guide that answers every question aspiring nonfiction writers will have.

Whether you have an idea or a half-finished draft, you’ll find a clear path to a polished, publishable manuscript—and grow your visibility and credibility along the way.”
“What I love most about this book is that it genuinely honors how many experts’ brains actually work: nonlinear, idea-rich, intuitive, and sometimes overwhelmed by how much there is to say. Instead of telling you to ‘just write,’ The Complete Expert-to-Author Guide offers a structure that sparks and captures brilliance, and sustains creative energy.”
“Admitting you’re an expert with a book idea is the first step. Admitting you’re not an expert author is the second step.
