"I knew I would love Oh Great, Now I Can Hear Dead People, from the title, but even so, it still had me giggling out loud. You'll love this book. It's laugh out loud funny, yet warm and touching and very modern."
Mary Cummings - Editor, Work Your Way Magazine

"This is one of the top ten best books I have ever read! Totally a delight from start to finish...and I am impatiently awaiting the sequel! I had a smile on my face, chuckled out loud many times and even shed a couple of tears during the touching moments! Thank you for a GREAT read, Ms. Durbin! Keep up the good work!"

Though a slim volume in size, Deborah Durbin manages to pack in a great deal of information. A combination of practical advice about the potential markets available to freelance writers and a section on motivation and self-belief, I’ll be dipping in and out of this invaluable reference book regularly, for both inspiration and encouragement.
Covering a large spectrum of routes into writing, Durbin points out that small, regular contribution to magazines, such as letter writing, can bring in a steady stream of money, as well as providing the much-need profile in such a competitive market. The eBook market is also discussed, with particular emphasis on non-fiction books, and the wide range of topics that could be of interest to readers. There are hundreds of things that you know that other people will want to know.
Similarly, practical advice is given about basic preparation when sending out work, such as the correct way to send out a manuscript or writing a letter to a publication or a publisher.
The final chapters offer guidance of a different kind. Drawing from her experience of writing about mind, body and spirit, Durbin provides some great supportive words of motivation and self-belief. Following the ascertain that “Writing IS a proper job”, I found this chapter particularly inspiring.
