stephicham's review against another edition
I so wish I had had this book as a young Asian American child getting into writing, but I'm glad it's out now. This book includes insight into the experiences of writing and publishing as a writer of color, including what it's like to write and publish in a language other than your first language, to be told there's no market for your story, and to write in a way that challenges current trends.

Really nothing negative to say about it; honestly I thought it was really good insight!! And I really am interested into one of the comparisons made between Mulan Disney (westernized) version and the original myths because it’s so wrong to me that people changed it to fit their ideals when the story didn’t belong to them in the first place. Like hello???

Though this book is aimed at upcoming authors, I found this book to be very interesting as a reader. Most of the advice could span any career path but especially those in the arts. Where "no" is a very common word and luck plays more of a role than you would like.
