Gloria Chadwick is the author of twenty-six books. She was a literary agent for six years and an independent publisher for twelve years. She teaches writing workshops and facilitates a writing group at Barnes & Noble, helping writers get their books published.

"As a literary agent, I tell writers: 'Write from the heart.' Gloria Chadwick embodies these words in her book. She offers powerful, practical advice that every writer, from beginner to professional, can use in every phase of the publishing process. Rarely have I seen the key elements of writing a book and getting it published so clearly explained. It's all here--everything a writer needs from start to finish. Ms. Chadwick is clearly a pro in the know; I heartily recommend her book as a unique and indispensable resource for novice and veteran writers alike." -- Bob Silverstein, Quicksilver Books, Literary Agents.
