Based on an eight week course, Perrot (a comedy writer and prolific author) teaches, this book has one explicit goal: to help the writer produce their own book, on time and with minimal stress. Each relatively short chapter explores practical areas such as important attitudes to maintain, writing the book chapter by chapter, and maintaining a regular schedule. The book closes with an appendix outlining the advantages of joining a writers' group. No index is included. Annotation 2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
