The Writer's ABC Checklist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Poorly presented proposals and manuscripts are the
hallmarks of amateur writers.
|
|
But when a writer knows the key to impressing editors,
agents and publishers, doors open and being published
becomes a reality.
|
|
The Writer's ABC Checklist is written with all writers in
mind, to help them present works that end up in the shortlist,
not the shredder.
|
|
Suitable for writers of both fiction and non-fiction aiming to
be published in magazines, radio, television, e-books or
mainstream publishing, The Writer's ABC Checklist is an
indispensable reference.

"...with freelance writing not only are you competing with other amateur and hobbyist writers, but you're also competing
with the professionals. The ABC Checklist is like having a professional writer who knows all the answers, right by your
side."

"New writers will find the advice helpful even before they get to making a submission."

"The ABC Checklist is a very good general reference book for new (and not-so-new) writers."

|
|
"I wish I'd had it alongside me a quarter of a century ago, when I first set out. It may have reduced the number of
rejection slips I received. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a tentative wannabe, there is something to be
learned from this book. If you don't have it, get it."
