Though written for fiction authors, all writers will benefit from reading this book."" -Tim Grahl, ""11 Best Book Marketing Books"" ""Discoverability gets my highest recommendation and a must read for writers who want to develop a career and make a living in the Indie Publishing industry."" -Marion Hill ""Closing the Deal...on Your Terms isn't an easy read. It's not one of those great craft books that will energize your writing or an inspirational book that will make you feel good. Rusch herself became quite downhearted while writing it, as she realized just how bad things had gotten in publishing land. But she stuck it out and did us all a great service by writing a book that isn't fun, but necessary."" -Writing Slices"
