REVIEWS

"I've been reading through your book. I'm going to recommend it everywhere I can. There's nothing on the market like this. Also, the book -- physically -- looks fantastic. Congratulations."

-Doug Clegg

In Angela’s work, Book Proposals That Work, I have found a wealth of information, guidance and direction only a true friend and master of the craft can provide.

I am engaged in a work that may very well change the course of my career because of this book she has complied.

I want to thank Angela Hoy for her endearing fortitude and unwavering commitment to the craft.

And I want to encourage all of you to read Angela. She is formidable if not the best I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing.
