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.

Format:Paperback
The ABC Checklist is a hugely practical, user friendly and knowledgeable resource for any aspiring writer. It combines very sensible 'how to' advice on looking for agents and publishers, alongside easy to understand tips on the craft of writing itself. Five stars.

Format:Paperback
One of the authors of this book took me under her wing even before this great book was published.
Not only did she give me wondrful advice on getting published, she managed to teach me more about spelling and punctuation than I ever learned at school. All over the internet and in a very short time.
She understood my dyslexia and came up with answers!
No-one else ever did that.
Recommended book? I would say so.

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.
