Product Description

Review
'A great writers' bible which all writers, no matter how well published, should keep at their elbow.' --Writelink

'... it s like having a professional writer by your side who knows the answers to all those questions you have when you re starting out.' --Writers Forum Magazine (Feb 2008)

'Indeed new writers will find the advice helpful even before they get to making a submission.' --Writing Magazine (March 2008)

Product Description
Poorly presented proposals and manuscripts are the hallmarks of amateur writers. When a writer knows the key to impressing editors, agents and publishers with his or her first attempt, doors open and being published becomes a reality. 'The ABC Checklist for New Writers' is written with all budding writers in mind, to help them present works that end up in the shortlist, not the shredder. Information is presented in a concise A - Z format, and unfamiliar terms are explained, taking the novice through each step in the submission process. Suitable for writers of both fiction and non-fiction aiming to be published in magazines, radio, television, e-books or mainstream publishing, 'The ABC Checklist for New Writers' is an indispensable reference for the budding writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really useful book, 24 Nov 2007
By K. Pedlar - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book with lots of good advice on presentation and how to format for radio and TV as well as for magazines and preparing a book synopsis. Also there's good, and easy to follow, tips on grammar. I'd recommend this book to anyone who'd like to see their work published.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, Informative and a useful reference resource, 22 Nov 2007
By Simon Whaley - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The ABC Checklist for New Writers is an immensely practical book. The alphabetical structure means that it's easy to find the answers to the questions you are looking for. I would recommend reading it from cover to cover first, and then have it to hand on your writing desk for you to refer back to as and when you need to.
