When I got this message from Bob Bly, I kind of lost it.
Yup. That's me. Well, add on like 30 years, and it's me.
It was exciting when Bob Bly asked for a signed copy of my book, but it was REALLY EXCITING (shouty, I know) when I got this feedback right as I was having some unrelated angst:
Thanks for the book. Just finished chapter 1 and I must say that as far as being a writer of business advice books, you’ve nailed it. You have a direct, no-nonsense style with each page filled with wisdom in plain English. So much better than most of the business books I read which are overwritten, overblown, and high falutin. Kudos to you. Now back to chapter 2. I urge EVERY freelance writer to read Sue's book You Write, They Pay.

...and then this review on Amazon
My spazz-out session came to a screeching halt when a writing friend asked...
"Who's Bob Bly?"
It was my own personal Woody Harrelson-Tallahassee Zombieland moment.
Anyhow, I've been reading a LOT on Steemit these days. Some of you can write really well. (Some... well, you can probably do math really well!)
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to get paid to write (client work - not as exciting as Steemit money... but a 'tad' more reliable), here's a chance to get my book absolutely free on Amazon Kindle.
If there's enough interest, I'll extend the freebie period.
Happy reading!
Written with StackEdit.
That's great Sue - THANKS I've downloaded the book.
I have it open and I will read it tomorrow. Skimming it, it looks great.
For a moment I thought I had missed this deal :-(
Then I noticed the text link under the cover image.
I was clicking on the cover image of course!
I wonder if it is worth adding a link to the cover image?
