If you have heard that a career in Creative Writing is:
- Impossible
- Limited to a chosen few
- Something you have to put off till you have tons of time on your hands, or that . . .
- You’re too old – or too young
Then my new booklet is for you.

I love this booklet! Lynette Benton has created a practical, down-to-earth, and useful guide that writers at any level will enjoy. Even as an experienced writer, I found her writing tips to be excellent and the resources spot on for the new Internet-driven markets.
When I read the booklet, I was actually wondering about how I would find the time for a memoir I was working on. One of her tips just lit a spark and released me from the guilt I was feeling, so that I could move forward with the project. Thank you!

“Professors in higher education must “publish or perish.” But Lynette Benton exhorts you to “polish, polish, polish” your writing so that you can have the chance to publish it. That’s terrific advice.
Polish and Publish is a godsend of information for writers at all stages of their careers. Lynette Benton gives you not just “tricks,” but the strategies and resources for starting, editing, finding an agent, and then seeing your words magically on a printed page or screen.
This e-book contains everything you need to know, including an impressive array of links to even more great information!”
