DOWNLOAD EBOOKDistilled wisdom from two publishing pros for every serious nonfiction author in search of big commercial success. Over 50,000 books are published in America each year, the vast majority nonfiction. Even so, many writers are stymied in getting their books published, never mind gaining significant attention for their ideas—and substantial sales. This is the book editors have been recommending to would-be authors. Filled with trade secrets, Thinking Like Your Editor explains: • why every proposal should ask and answer five key questions; • how to tailor academic writing to a general reader, without losing ideas or dumbing down your work; • how to write a proposal that editors cannot ignore; • why the most important chapter is your introduction; • why "simple structure, complex ideas" is the mantra for creating serious nonfiction; • why smart nonfiction editors regularly reject great writing but find new arguments irresistible. Whatever the topic, from history to business, science to philosophy, law, or gender studies, this book is vital to every serious nonfiction writer.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat should you do when your boyfriend wants to propose live on air? Should you a) confess up front that you’re already married before the cameras are in your face and risk losing him, because you never meant to lie but you never mentioned it either. On the other hand, b) try to avoid being alone with him (ever again) so that he will not get the opportunity to ambush you with a surprise engagement ring. Or c) play along with it and accept his offer of marriage and that leaves option d) which stands for divorce, which is what you should have done ages ago seeing as it’s been five long years since you’ve actually seen your husband in the flesh. Speaking about the absent husband, just to complicate matters even further begs the question. Did they have to make a pact to hook up again five years down the line and get back together for good, if neither of them had found happiness with another person by then? And this is the problem that Faye Allen faces on the programme where she works, while the TV presenter is busy trying to make her own mark on telly so that she can fulfil her ambitions and one day host her own show. Only a scandal like this could sink her career boat that was sailing along quite nicely, until this happened to scupper her dreams. As it is decided, the best course of action to take in this situation is to head off to Gibraltar to get it all sorted and Faye has a close encounter with a monkey for all her troubles and it would not be for the first time. So read this funny British comedy romance fiction novel in order to find out how Faye handles having a fiancé and a famous husband plus a demanding workload all at once, which ends up crossing the line right over into every single part of her life and completely wreaks havoc all-round as a result.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA book lover once lent one of his prized volumes to a friend. The friend, upon returning it, confessed his puzzlement. As he had turned its pages, he had notice in the margins the cryptic initials YBH, followed by a question mark. YBH? So he asked his friend, "What is the meaning of that symbol you have jotted down in the margins of so many pages, YBH?"With a smile the book lover explained, "Oh, that means, 'Yes, but how?' I will be reading along, and I will agree with what the author writes, only to wonder about making his ideas work in life. 'Yes. But how?'"It's a good question, isn't it? "Yes. But how?" How do you change print into flesh-and-blood reality? How do you take a truth and translate it into action? YBH? So with ourselves. We want to be disciples of Jesus. We want to be productive Christians. We want to bear much fruit to the glory of God. We want all those gracious characteristics exhibited by our Lord to be reproduced in our own behavior.This book is intended to address ten essential principles of productivity and growth for those who take their Christian faith seriously and to answer that all-important question of application, "Yes, but how?" - Vernon C.
