The Mom Inventor's Handbook is a very detailed, hands on guide for taking an invention from idea to reality. There are several things I believe make it so useful: it's relevant and recent (no outdated advice here), it's based on real-world experience from an inventor and the others she has mentored, and it offers myriad resources to implement her advice. The examples of moms who have had success also make it inspirational.
I also liked how the author uses examples that clearly illustrate what she is advising. For examples, she gives before and after pictures of the packaging design for her invention, the TP Saver when illustrating design elements.
I interviewed the author about the book on my Internet radio show, EverydayWealthRadio, and found her to be very knowledgeable. If you've been thinking of inventing a product, this is a book you must have.

I am not a mom so at first I was a little hesitant to buy this book - boy am I glad that I did! I was just looking for an overview on all the steps required in designing a product and getting it into the market place. Seldom, if ever have I been so satisfied that an author comes through with a book that is clear, concise, informative, thorough, full of information, resources and real life examples. I thought this book was wonderful! |

I am so impressed with the information that Ms. Monosoff gathered and presented in The Mom Inventors Handbook and I appreciate the organized layout- her book is very easy to read and understand. I'm thankful that she took the time to write this beneficial book to help inventors find their way.
There are many people I know that could use the info she provides, especially in the chapters on research, marketing and how to organize a business. Though they are not all inventors, they are creative women that are opening their own businesses and selling products or services (I know what they're getting for Christmas, if I can wait that long!). I also write children's books so there was a lot of helpful advice for that part of my career too!
The "Resources" section and the sample business forms at the back of the book were extremely helpful. Thank you Tamara for having such a well-thought out book and sharing your insights into this complex field! "Someone" once said that it's easier to send a man to the moon than to get an invention to market. I'm not sure if that's true, but what I do know is that anyone interested in attempting to bring an idea to life needs this guide.

I was greatly inspired & moved just from reading a few pages from this book. I honestly thanked God today for using people like Tamara Monosoff to reach people like me. My name is Marlena Martin of TX and I searched through countless bookstores for a book that could give me tips on how to go about with distribution, guideance & tips about starting an home based buisness. The moment I pulled this book off the shelf was one of the greatest & wisest desicions of my life. This book reads with ease, it actually gave me confidence & inspired to to go ahead & move forward with my idea. There's a line in this book that actually gave me chills. I cannot paraphase it but it basically said, if you create an idea with your mind, you are therefore an inventor. Never in a millions years have I seen myself as an inventor but at the precise moment, the wheels began spinning in my brain & though I do not feel like Albert Einstein, I do feel like a contributor to the scientific field. If you are an busy mom who "just like me" came up with a wonderful idea (invention) & would like to share your idea with the world. If you want to get started and learn what it's going to take. Read this book, it will be money well worth spent. I value it and cannot imagine life without it. Much success to the author, thank you for inspiring busy mom's like me. |
