"A wonderful book in every way. I couldn't put it down."
"In the guise of celebrating her gurus, Susan Shapiro demonstrates
that she is as much a mentor as mentee. Not only that, but she
provides what amounts to nothing less than a survival guide for
freelancers in her own inimitable voice--at once witty and
intimate."
"With an irresistible energy and winning humor that come at you in
a rush, Susan Shapiro's superb account of significant mentors is
one of the best books I know about the writing life. All in all, a
terrific read."
"You think you're a writer? Read this book. It's everything you
wanted to know about getting published but were too full of
yourself (or too insecure) to ask."
