Google Search I made; reviews Writing with style John R Trimble[1]

On Wikipedia, I tried to learn how to Create an article and I don't have the skills to succeed. I am working with a tutor and that may help. I loved this book, I learned a lot about communication, not just writing but my whole attitude toward communication was influenced by this book. I feel it changed my life. After studying this book I write more now. Tomorrow I will start learning improve my education with the Literacy Network. One of my goals is to become a contributor to wikipedia. I have multiple learning disabilities. Unfortunately I dropped out of school after the 7th grade. some college.

 * Hello Swoon1, welcome to Wikipedia! All Wikipedia content must be based on what reliable published sources have reported about the subject. Thus looking for reviews of Trimble's book is exactly the right approach. The next step must be some vetting: Not everything found by Google is considered reliable on Wikipedia. See WP:Identifying reliable sources for the kinds of sources we look for - sources which are subject to editorial oversight and have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Sales blurbs by bookstores such as Amazon, for example, don't meet this standard; neither does user-submitted content like GoodReads reviews - everybody can review a book on GoodReads, without any oversight. Thus you will probably only be able to make use of some few Google results as sources for the new article. When you have found a handful of good references - say three to five that discuss the book in some detail - you can use the Article Wizard to write a draft that summarizes what those sources report, and you can submit the draft for a review by an experienced editor.
