This is a brilliant handbook for anyone who writes. Though mainly focused on nonfiction writers it is nevertheless full of applicable advice ranging from what topic to choose, how to publish, to refining your drafts. At the end of each section is a summary, in point form, of what to practice. This is a reference book which will be used again and again as it contains many excellent tips. I not only enjoyed reading it but also found the advice generous, loved the multitude of examples from other writers, and would highly recommend it.

Get the Word Out: Write Books that Make a Difference
by Anne Janzer

There’s something inviting about the introduction of Get the Word Out where Janzer writes: “Many of us live on the cusp of doing something meaningful, without ever taking action. We wait or deflect responsibility, assuming that someone more expert than us will speak up. You’re reading this book because you don’t want to wait any longer.”

That’s it then. This book is about empowering those people to tell the powerful, necessary stories already within them. The key, Janzer says, is tapping into your sense of purpose and embracing what she calls “servant authorship,” meaning that an author truly commits to serving the needs of the reader. This “sense of purpose gives you a guidepost for making difficult decisions, like what to include and what to leave out.”

Unlike some writing how-to books, she addresses the idea of how to build a community and work with publishers. That’s a welcome change from so many other books.

I’m also a fan of books that have a simple, clear format to them, and this one does, with four distinct parts—The Difference You Make, Make Your Plan, Get the Words Out, and Spread the Word. The text, too, has a lot of subheaders and bulleted lists to help guide readers through the concrete advice, tips, and anecdotes.

Ultimately, it’s an accessible book that might be just what you need to move you ahead on your own story journey.
