Ratings and reviews

Hold on to your pens, fellow writers. This book will open your eyes to the wonders of becoming a Wideling--a writer who publishes on a wide spectrum of online and brick-and-mortar storefronts. It's well organized and written in clear prose, so it's easy to use as a reference guide. But I recommend reading it from cover to cover first, as there are lots of hidden gems tucked inside. Lefebvre begins by defining what it means "to go wide," and explains the advantages and disadvantages of the practice. Places you can sell your book are described in detail, and a whole section is dedicated to libraries. It's wonderful having all this information in one place delivered by a writer who has played an integral role in the publishing industry for decades. I highly recommend Wide for the Win for all writers

I have learned more from this book in three days than I have in years! Thank you Mark!
