Joe Vitale used to make me mad, but now he just makes me laugh. Admittedly a former car salesman, Vitale wouldn’t recognize an original thought if it grabbed him by the throat. Every one of his books is a direct ripoff of another book. This one’s no different. He rewrote and repackaged expert Dan Poynter’s “Writing Nonfiction: Turning Thoughts Into Books.”

There really is good information in “How To Write And Publish . . .” but you have to wade through convoluted grammar, a multitude of typos, and repitition & rhetoric galore to find the few gems hidden here.

And as usual, Vitale provides links to his friends’ websites so everybody in his circle makes a buck. The links get to be as annoying as the grotesque grammar and hilarious typos.

Also, be aware that you’ll only get 125 pages of information in this 279-page book (page 126 is blank). And only half of those 125 pages are dedicated to e-books. Vitale drifts off into POB and other miscellany in the middle of the text.

Pages 127 – 279 are “author interviews.” And guess what? The last (and longest) interview is with Joe Vitale himself. I’m sure glad I didn’t buy a used car from this character.

On the upside, there is a pamphlet-size amount of good information here. I’m not sure this is the best book on the subject because it’s so hard to read (Vitale tells you to use your “instincts” and your “subconscious” to write, although I think he uses his feet), it’s so full of referrals to websites, and is so badly padded, but you’ll be able to dig out the necessary information if you have sharp enough gardening tools.

Some good information, a lot of rather pathetic unintentional laughs, and way too much filler. Check around for easier-to-read resources. It’ll save you time and aggravation.

Here is the secret of “How to Write and Publish Your Own eBook in as Little as 7 Days” in one sentence: Slop SPAM togeather as a PDF and upload it to a web page!
Why does Joe Vitale say it takes soo long? Does he type with one finger? If he does – I’m Twice as good a writer!
