There are some pretty significant technical issues with this audio-book: chapters don't correspond occasionally, the Audible title will read 'Chapter 4' when the narrator says 'Chapter 2' and so forth. It's an hour too long, as if the author was trying to stretch out explanations on purpose to meet an arbitrary word count or run-time. The graphics are bland generic and available to anyone with PowerPoint or Apache Open Office, making it extremely difficult to take the professional premise of this work seriously. A sample of some of the fantastic waste-of-time advice: "Have strangers read your work..." Wow. A mind-blower there! A writer would never, ever have had that inclination had (s)he not shelled out cash for Julie's expert advice! Gotta love how Julie ends her book with a promotion for herself as a 'Blurbologist'. And, thus exposed, the entirety of the work is revealed to be a 2-hour commercial to get readers to employ Julie C. Gilbert herself.

A two-hour commercial for Julie G. Nothing more...
