My Honest Review:

Walking On The Path Of Indie Publishing is the second book of the toolkit series and is written by well-known Indie author and founder of the book club, Rubina Ramesh.

In this book, Rubina has explained the nitty-gritty of the marketing, before, during and after the release of your book.

The author has covered each and every aspect of marketing on social media sites and not to forget, the finer details and importance of editing, beta reading, and proofreading.

In other words, Rubina has covered each and every topic from the start (i.e. from writing) until the end (i.e. release of your book).

I really applaud Rubina, first for putting together the idea of toolkits and secondly for her writing and sharing her in-depth knowledge and her experiences, which will provide as a guiding light to all aspiring authors, who would otherwise be moving around like a headless chicken in this publishing world.


Walking On The Path Of Indie Publishing is a must buy and read by one and all current and budding writers who aspire to publish their works, as it has all the necessary details that one will need, right from editing to marketing to cover image designing.

About the Author

She then went to complete her MBA and after her marriage to her childhood friend, her travel saga started. From The Netherlands to the British Isles, she lived her life like an adventure. After a short stint in Malaysia, she finally settled down in the desert state of USA, Arizona.  Living with her DH and two human kids and one doggie kid, Rubina has finally started living the life she had always dreamed about – that of a writer.

Book Review - D R Downer's The Secret of Ghostwriting

The Secrets of Ghostwriting  by D. R Downer

A guide that will tell you everything there is to know about the big, bad, mysterious, and often misunderstood world of Ghostwriting.


My Review :

The Secrets of Ghostwriting is the third book of TBC Toolkit series and deals with ghostwriting and is written by none other than D R Downer who is nicknamed as a ghost himself...

Having read a couple of his works, I loved his story writing style. But after reading this toolkit I really loved his straightforward writing style because he prefers calling a spade a spade.

So what is ghostwriting? Writing by ghosts or for ghosts? Definitely, the answer is No for both. So if you wanna understand what is ghostwriting, why it is called so, one must buy and read this toolkit which will really help you clearly understand each and every aspect of ghostwriting.

Plus D R Downer's simple and straightforward writing style makes The Secrets of Ghostwriting easy to understand. So if you want to make ghostwriting as your career and wanna know in detail about the nitty-gritty of this business, this toolkit is a must read for you.

About the Author

Almost as soon as Devika Fernando could write, she imagined stories and poems. After finishing her education in Germany and returning to her roots in Sri Lanka, she got a chance to turn her passion into her profession. Having lived in Germany and in Sri Lanka with her husband has made her experience the best (and the worst) of two totally different worlds – something that influences her writing. Her trademark are sweet, yet deeply emotional romance stories where the characters actually fall in love instead of merely falling in lust. She draws inspiration from everyone and everything in life. Besides being a romance novel author, she works as a self-employed German web content writer, as a translator, and as a faithful servant to all the cats, dogs, fish and birds in her home. What she loves most about being an author is the chance to create new worlds and send her protagonists on a journey full of ups and downs that will leave them changed. When she’s not writing, she’s reading or thinking about writing.

My Review:

First of all, a big THANK YOU to The Book Club and the authors who have contributed to this idea of writing the toolkits. As it puts to rest so many doubts and queries which arises in mind of any future budding authors and are clueless about where to go and whom to ask.

Why Go Indie? is the first book of the series and is written by none other than Devika Fernando who is a well-known Indie author herself.

Devika has written beautifully the pros and cons of a traditionally published book through a publication house and also about self-publication i.e. being an Indie author. She has dealt with each and every struggle or hurdle that an author faces when one goes to publish his/her work through an agent/publication house.

Also, the benefits and advantages of self-publication and how to become an Indie Author is also dealt with and explained wonderfully.

Thank you, Rubina Ramesh, for this brainwave and thanks to all the contributing authors who have put forth their views and their experiences which will provide as a guiding light to all current and upcoming authors.

So, if you want to publish your book, go buy these toolkits and read to get an in-depth knowledge of self-publication.
