Very informative Although staccato

I personally found this audiobook very informative and Mayer's advice on how to write a best seller is top tier. From the tips on how to change everyday habits to become a more effective and efficient writer to relevant references to the modern writing and publishing industry, Mayer's advice will benefit both hobbyist writers and (likely) seasoned writers as well.

My main criticism is that Gollery's narration was a tad staccato and flat. If the content wasn't so informative I likely would have changed to a different audiobook.

Overall I did find this audiobook more than useful and I feel like it's a must-have for any aspiring author's reference tool kit.
