Sally Atman (Redondo Beach, CA United States)
This is a short book -- I first read it in an hour. And the information isn't terribly ingenious -- just logical. But it's the best book I've found on the subject because it's easy to refer to, makes perfect sense, and does allow me to stick to my minimal budget.
Good solid information with no wasted words or outrageous ideas.

Read The Business of Writing for Children to learn the secrets you might spend years discovering for yourself. Customer reviews Everything I'd hoped for, and then some! by .. Hannah K. Knott (Spain)
This is an excellent book for aspiring writers who want to publish a children's book, rich with advice and seasoned with experience.
I found it to be thorough, honest, and enormously helpful. Not only does it contain all the information I was looking for, but it also contains answers to questions I hadn't thought of... plus lots of helpful hints.
My copy of it is already "marked up" (the highest sign of appreciation for any book of mine) with notes and high-lightings. I've already read it twice and I know I'll be reading it again.

THANK YOU AARON SHEPARD!!! by .. Iowa Eddie ()
All the other books like this are 1000 pages of self-indulgence by their authors. Aaron Shepard keeps it short and to the point.
Short and Sweet by .. Trisha Dehler (Portland, ME)
I confess I have three of Mr. Shepard's books. Why? Because, they are all straight to the point. The advice is not padded with trite page fill, such as, "Paint you home office mauve so you'll feel relaxed while writing." You can pay for a thicker book, but you won't get more information. The Business of Writing for Children gives you the facts you need to set off on the pathway to success. What else do you need?
Worth reading  by .. L. Burleson (Northern California)
just wrote my first children's book did not know what to do with it after I was done. Great links and hints on how to get your book published through a publisher or to do self-publishing.
The Absolute Best "How-To Get Your Writing Career Started" Book on the Market by .. Alan M. Brown (Tallahassee, FL)
"The Business of Writing for Children" is an exceptional guide for all writers. There are loads of books on the market that deal with writing, but Aaron Shepard's work is a diamond amongst lead pellets. He shares his real life experiences that have led him to become a world renowned author. Reading the book was like being able to sit down face to face with a children's lit superstar to teach me all about the business.
There are several features that make Shepard's book superior to others in the field.
First, the book is a step-by-step guide. Shepard presents a logical sequence of events to follow to accomplish your writing goals. Second, Shepard shares the lessons that he learned as a new author struggling to get his work published to the accomplished writer he is today. Third, he lays out how to format your work in the manner that editors look for. Fourth, he provides unique strategies to make your manuscripts stand out on editors' desks. Fifth, Shepard explains how to get your work to editors who do not take unsolicited work. Sixth, the book gives an array of ideas to market your work and yourself. These are only a few of the things that I found to be extremely useful in this book.
Additionally, the book is not filled with fluff. It is only about 100 pages long. Some of the other books on this subject are hundreds of pages long. I found that all of the larger books available are filled with a lot of useless information; whereas, Shepard only supplies useful and relevant information. I appreciated his approach because I felt that I needed a straight forward approach to help me on my writing journey.

I am so glad I read your book. You explained things I needed to know and corrected things I thought I knew. Most important, your book helped me develop and refine the marketing plan that I am now implementing for my newest book.
I have been authoring materials and involved in media (producing and hosting radio & TV) for more than 20 years. After reading your outstanding resource for small publishers, I am changing the way I do things. Thank you for taking the time to compile your book and make these materials available to help others. My work will be more effective because of your work.

solid information, but geared to book authors by .. ()
As a firm believer in truth in marketing, I had mixed feelings about this book. The information it contains is excellent and helpful for authors looking to promote a book, but at the bottom of the front cover it says: "A step-by-step guide to promoting anything from books to businesses." Sorry, that's not accurate. 75% of the book has to do with book promotion only. If you've got another kind of business, choose another book.
Heavy Loaded Book by .. A. Petrotchenkov (Moscow, Russia)
The book stands out as a very good guide for the first time entrepreneur or the self-publisher. Linda Radke both as author and editor presents all the know-how you will need to properly advertise your book or business. "Promote Like A Pro" consists of two parts. The first one shows how to prepare an excellent marketing plan for your book. And in the second part of the book, contributing experts share their knowledge on marketing and publicity. Publishing experts uncovers us their tips and secrets how to market books. "Promote Like A Pro" is a must read for anyone wishing to begin a self-publishing promotion. It is very exciting and has many good pointers. Definitely recommended as a way to help successfully promote yourself, your business or your book. The self-promotion ideas in the Linda Radke's book look quite new and fresh for reader in Russia. I think, nobody in Moscow knows the tips how to promote a book. And I'll try this secret weapon with my next book. Thanks for sharing, Linda!

Customer reviews Great supplement to phonics instruction by .. J. Holderman (Kentucky)
I'm a former elementary school teacher and homeschooling mom and this book was very helpful to me. Dr. Throgmartin uses principles of Reading Recovery (a highly successful program used in schools for students who are behind) and shows how to integrate the best elements of phonics and whole language research to help your child get the meaning from the text, which, after all, is the point of learning to read. He includes simple assessments and log sheets to help you scientifically track progress. Of special interest was his explanation of whole language instruction and reasons for bias of many Christian educators against it. Actually, my own bias may have kept me from even reading the book if it weren't for the chapter on Reading Recovery, which, while teaching, I had observed to be the best remedial reading program used. Although I don't follow his program to a T, the elements I added to my son's phonics and writing instruction made an immediate change for the better. The only possible caution is his recommended book list. Although it doesn't contain anything blatantly offensive, there are many better books out there. However, he does give guidelines for rating book levels so you could start with the books your child already has and build from there. Overall, this book is easy to read and understand. I highly recommend it to teachers who rely heavily on phonics instruction or just want to spark their students' love for reading.
The next step after beginning reading programs  by .. D. M. Sanders ()
I used this book with my daughter when she was 5. We had tried a variety of approaches when she expressed a desire to read. She learned enough phonics and sight words to read some very basic readers but balked at continuing with workbooks, no matter how colorful and fun they were supposed to be. This book enabled us to move to the next level. Although I would be leery of using this book to teach reading from scratch, it is great for those children who think they don't need reading instruction any more. You are able to introduce new concepts painlessly while reading regular books. You use one book for several days and create your lesson based on the words that the child has a problem with in the first reading. The section at the back of the book was especially useful for me because it gives an example of how an average lesson using this system would work. Theory is fine, but it can get jumbled in my brain if I don't know how to put it into practice! Other reviewers on this site have covered this book in much more detail, and you should check their reviews as well. This is more of a testimonial that the method is helpful. Mr. Thogmartin's book and a set of magnetic letters will get your child past the "hat-cat-sat" stage with a minimum of fuss.
Teach a CHild to Read with Children's Books by .. ()
The contents of this book have been wonderful in implementing a successful reading program for my own children. After many starts and stops with complete phonics based programs, this book was a refreshing approach, that actually worked! Very, very applicable for any home-based instruction. Not to mention an enjoyable learning process, as the children themselves help to pick out their "lessons."
refreshing & just right for the intended audience by .. Alyson Bass (bassaa1@aol.com) (Nashville, Tennessee)
The author's target audience is parents who are teachingtheir children to read at home, and he writes in a comprehensiblemanner for those not steeped in educational jargon. On the other hand, he avoids the trap of telling his audience simply what to do as if parents or non-education professionals were not able to grasp the basic principles of literacy development; therefore, this is a book of not only "how to" but "why" and should be quite refreshing for parents who want to know just how reading comes about. The author grounds his beliefs about reading not only in research but also in extensive experience in teaching children to read so that there is a firm connection between theory and practice. No doubt about it--the act of reading is enormously intricate; yet, the straightforward explanation of language acquisition, the interactive reading process, and observable behaviors of early readers should de-mystify the complex reading puzzle for parents. The author has, therefore, skillfully communicated that teaching a child to read is doable without reducing learning to read to some type of simplistic activity. Further, he states the importance of phonics AND places it right where it belongs in the entire reading process--as a valuable tool for the child's word recognition strategies in the context of real reading and real writing. Reading is so much more than merely learning phonetic elements, and the author addresses what the "more" is for the reader. Throughout the book are ample real-life examples of teaching children to read and specific suggestions for parents based on literacy research and actual experiences. Included is a lesson plan format, record-keeping forms, lists of materials, strategy development explanation and activities, and recorded dialogue between parent and child as the child is guided through a book for the first time. This latter section of the book is very helpful--this is what a sit-down, read-with-me lesson really looks like. At the end is a lengthy bibliography of books children customarily enjoy--leveled for a parent's convenience. I am a teacher with 25 years experience in kindergarten and first grade classrooms AND a teacher of parents about reading as well. I would have recommended this book to any one of the parents of my students and do recommend it to parents who are home schooling and those who are interested in how their children learn to read. My suggestion for Mr. Thogmartin is to somehow make his book accessible and available to parents of the various cultures in our society.
Confirms what I discovered as a 1st grade teacher. by .. ()
At the end of the first day of school in my second year as a first grade teacher, a little girl came up to me at the end of the day. She said, "But, Teacher, we can't go home yet. I haven't learn how to read." So the next day, I came prepared with predictable books and activities that would allow every child go home on that second day with a sense that he/she could read. Mark Thogmartin presents the same philosophy in his book. This book made me think about how I could tie phonics instruction in more closely with predictable books. I came away from this book with concrete ideas and plans that will help children understand connections in reading, phonics, writing, and enjoying stories.

Customer reviews "I testify that this book is ....Superb and practical!!!" by .. Kevin Quinley (Fairfax, VA)
Author Rosalie Hamilton has penned a very practical guidebook for those who wish to launch an expert witness practice. She effectively drives home the point that it's not enough to have great credentials and expertise. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make a noise? If you have all the credentials and expertise in the world but nobody knows, will you ever get hired? Likely not.
You must COMMUNICATE your abilities and the types of services and solutions you offer. Hamilton discusses word of mouth, networking, harnessing the Internet, paid directories, etc. No detail is too small. The appendices are packed with useful information.
If you are thinking of launching your own expert witness or consulting practice, this book is a MUST-HAVE "bible" to get, read and heed!
Great for professionals providing opinion testimony. by .. Lorinda Titus (Baltimore, MD USA)
I was a drug analyst with a crime lab, and went solo for personal reasons. I was hoping to find a book that would help someone like me draw up a marketing plan and a contract. You know, some of the in's and out's of self-employment.
Although I was able to pull a few gems from it (I was able to create a contract via the suggestions in this book), in general this book is not written for people like me. It is geared more towards professional who will be offering opinion testimony from specific fields, such as engineers or doctors. It is great for someone like that, but not necessarily for someone who has worked in a lab.
Don't get me wrong - to me, this book was worth the price just for its insights into developing a contract. After all, if you are already in the forensic field, you know how lawyers are about contracts. It's just that you will get a lot more out of this if you are a non-forensic professional looking to offer forensic testimony.
