Reviews
'A guide to writing, editing, submitting and publishing - as the book's subtitle says - from an industry perspective. A friendly, useful, realistic, up-to-date and detailed guide to what to expect from and with agents and publishers (as well as with non-traditional ways into publication), and how to approach them professionally. A great addition to any shelf of writery books. Recommended' - 255 Book Review, 'Quite different from any other writing guide I've ever come across' - Antonia Honeywell, Booktime Brunch
