Not all of Perkin's content on creating special effects will be relevant to a Home Stager, but you'll learn more about what's possible with a digital camera, and she uses Adobe Photoshop Elements (a program I recommend) for image editing. She provides the basics of mega pixel ranges, focus, exposure, lighting, reflections, different camera angles, panoramas and the basics of transforming images.

LaRocque gives a dozen guidelines to good writing that apply whether you're writing your profile, advertising, newsletter or even a business letter. Ignore the parts that are more appropriate to fiction, but this doesn't detract from the usability of the rest of her content. You'll find clear and concise information on how to avoid the most common grammar, usage, punctuation and style errors.

This book is a classic in the genre! I read it a couple of times but the real change came when I made time to do the exercises she recommends. Julia's chapters seemed to anticipate what I was going through in my own journey. Journal writing is a huge part of what she advocates. I've always been a journal writer myself and it's helped me work though many issues.
