Not that I'm thinking of writing a book, but I like reading tips how to be published. This paperback has plenty of tips. One I recommend.

The book I needed to read at the right time on my journey to becoming published. So much useful advice, such a witty and interesting read. Cannot recommend this highly enough.
I now feel much more confident in putting together a killer submission package and getting my work taken seriously by agents. I will raise a glass to Scott when I get an agent to represent me.

Love this book. I will definitely be re-reading it and following the advice as I attempt to write something vaguely interesting.

A great, accessible resource on the publishing world.
