Despite my hesitation about the optimism inherent in the Get Published Secrets kit, optimism that has as much to do with Beaumont’s own great energy and charisma as it does to any transferable system, there is much that is on offer here. Though I didn’t have access to the CDs, I imagine that many of those interviews would have lots of information from people who have discovered ‘secrets’ about how to successfully promote nonfiction books and to leverage those books towards financial success. I found that there were many clever and innovative ideas presented here, some that I've not come across before, and that this is a collection that could provide a good source of motivation for many writers. If I were looking to produce a nonfiction book, I might pay a hundred dollars for it and consider my money well spent. At nearly one thousand dollars though, I think the price is way too steep.

Gosh, Maggie - I agree with you. A thousand dollars would buy an author a lot of publicity, marketing or internet placement, instead of a boxed set of DVDs.
