I saw Jen talk at a local writers group earlier this week, and bought an autographed copy of her book from her. Read it almost non-stop and liked it so much that I bought it again (on Kindle) so I could not only re-read it on the phone when I've got down-time away from books, and so I could write this review. If you're a writer (or want to be one), or if you're interested in raising your game in Social Media, if you don't buy and read this book, you might as well just go cut your own throat - you'll be missing that much.
FWIW, I'd never even heard of Jan until I saw her speak, and I'm not typically a raving fan-boy ... but in this case, she won me over. I've been a professional writer since '72, and published my first (of 38) books in 1982. I've been a book promo specialist - hell, I even owned a literary agency for about a decade - yet I learned SO-O-O much from this book that I'll have to re-read it, with a highlighter, before I'll know for sure what I did learn.
Yes, it's really that good.
Now, for the rest of the story (which I shared with the writers group which hosted Jen earlier this week):
***
I'd like to give a shout-out to our speaker last Monday, Jen Mann. I bought her book, "How I F*cking Did It," a book about her writing life and her development as an author and as a social media guru. Then I read it, almost non-stop, and only wish it was a lot longer.
Jen's an impressive writer, but her story (which includes three agents she had to fire, a publisher that fired her, making the NYT Best Seller list with a self-published book, and so much more) is remarkable, instructive, insightful and filled with useful tips. OK, that's a long sentence, but live with it, folks.
This is a great book, which you should buy - and even better news - she'll be speaking at the Las Vegas Writers Conference in early April - so buy your tickets early (and save a bunch of money on "early bird discounts"). Then buy her book - and read it. And then read all her other books.
If you don't at least buy and read this one, you'll regret it. Maybe not now, and maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.
