I received a complimentary ARC copy of Early Readers Catch the Worms from the author and am leaving an honest, voluntary review. I have previously read and provided reviews for other complimentary works by this author, namely The Frost Eater and The Vine Eater - books one and two of The Magic Eaters Trilogy.

Early Readers Catch the Worms is an exceptional piece of writing by Carol (Beth) Anderson - her first non-fiction work. It is testament to the character of the author that she chose this topic as the object of her attention when she could have selected any of a myriad of other non-fiction subjects; demonstration indeed of her generous nature and desire to 'pay it forward'. It is clear from the book that the author has benefitted much from the support and encouragement of countless people in her writing journey to date, and I find it heart-warming that she has elected to support other writers and authors in such a practical way with the publication of this latest book. I will certainly use the sage advice she provides in making my book writing strategy more professional and robust.

With an eye-catching and fun cover design (by the author), this book is comprehensive in scope and easy to follow. The author appears to have addressed all the most pertinent needs when considering the use of alpha, beta, and ARC readers, and has provided a raft of resources, including innumerable email templates. Importantly, I found every sign that she had closely followed her own advice to others. The result? A professionally produced, practical 'How-To' workbook that any reader who wants to publish a better novel will want to refer to countless times. This should definitely be a staple reference - and a keeper. Congratulations, Beth!
