5 out of 5 stars The Book I So Did NOT Expect to Love   May 18, 2007
 8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I picked up this book not knowing it was new, and, boy, was I surprised by its depth and scope. A collector of word-nerdy goodness, I wouldn't have expected this book to be so entertaining. I definitely recommend it to anybody who hopes to augment their current careers with editing, or possibly spin off into a business of their own.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent reading, a must have book!   May 14, 2007

5 out of 5 stars I can't recommend this book enough!   May 14, 2007
 5 out of 6 found this review helpful

As a former journalist, writing my first novel, and collaborating with other writers on various projects - I found this book to be completely invaluable. Sue Gilad breaks down everything you'll ever need to know in a way that is not only direct and informative, but also entertaining. This is absolutely the best reference book on the subject out there. Whether you're a journalist, writer, editor, proofreader, student, someone looking to make this a career, or you just want to hone your editing skills, I can't recommend this book enough!


5 out of 5 stars She's done it again!   May 15, 2007

This is the second book I've read by Suzanne Gilad and like her first, it is a winner! In her first work, The Real Estate Millionaire,co-authored with Boaz Gilad, I learned enough about real estate to begin negotiating my own purchases. Now I've begun studying the basics of another lucrative business! This book is interesting, easy-to-follow and empowering! Kudos to the author!


5 out of 5 stars Clear, Concise and Entertaining   May 15, 2007

I was surprised to find a book with this title was so full of life, great information, funny stories, and most of all a plan that I could put into action to make money from reading and editing. The format is easy to follow and put into practice without working too hard. Highly recommended
