Status Updates From The Handbook of Creative Wr...

Finishes with a nice glossary. If this was a test, I would have passed with 100%.

Ch48 - Making a Living as a Writer. Verdict: difficult but doable. The key is to write well and write lots.

Ch47 - The Writer as Teacher. A creative writing teacher speaks.

Ch46 - Literary Life: Prizes, Anthologies, Festivals, Reviewing, Grants. Seems to focus on these as money-making opportunities, rightly or wrongly. Interesting in passing. The back end of this book seems to cover some of the more fringe activities. As an outlet myself, perhaps I ought to pay more attention.

Ch45 - Copyright. Skimmed and skipped over this chapter without feeling guilty. A lot of legalese from two lawyers. Read only if you're mad or paranoid that your agent is trying to diddle you.

Ch44 - The Literary Agent: TV, Radio and Theatre. Detailed analysis, by an agent, of the small print around agent representation. Read only if you're writing in this field.
