This is published by Riverhead Books (penguin) and is free from the website. Otherwise you pay 16.00. It's an editor's advice to writers and I enjoyed every page. Writing, publishing sections go into types of writers, such as 'self-promoter', 'the natural', 'the wicked child', etc.
Dealing with rejection (better get used to it) and what editors want. Also a useful bibliography at the end. She's a treasure. Go to her website and sign up for her newsletters. She's a non-fiction editor.

I have that one. It's actually worth the 16 dollars.

Her memoir Food and Loathing is GREAT. She's also a lovely person. I follow her blog (lurk!) and made a few comments a while back and she sent me an e-mail and when she found out I had two autistic kids, she asked for my address and sent me a copy of Temple Grandin's newest book.

Now THAT'S a cool agent!
