Reviews

[Zahid · Rating 5 out of 5]

Indispensable to get into the writing business, how to get an agent with genre specific publishers and info on how to submit your manuscript.

[Lily-anne Green · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must reference book for writers and wannabe authors. Over the years the book has changed slightly as once upon a time there were no digital contact options. Yet despite the paperless revolution still hard copy is on the list.
