Format:Paperback
If you are considering the jump from hobby writer to professional (or just plain curious), this book is a necessity. Not so much a guide book as a bible. Ever wondered why typescripts take so long at the publishers? What is Libel, Sedition, Obscenity and Plagiarism? How does copyright work and how should publishing contracts be dealt with? The answers to these and other Frequently Asked Questions are dealt with in a straightforward jargon free manner. Of particular interest is the section on the actual publishing process. A fascinating read from submission of typescript to production of the finished product. A first hand insight into the industry, as told by a very experienced and successful writer and publisher. Every so often a book comes along that is a 'must have'. 'An Author's Guide To Publishing', is one of them. Not just for authors' but anyone who likes an interesting, entertaining read. Buy two copies. One the bookshelf and one for the bedside table.
