'A guide to writing,editing,submitting and publishing - as the book's subtitle says - from an industry perspective. A friendly,useful,realistic,up-to-date and detailed guide to what to expect from and with agents and publishers (as well as with non-traditional ways into publication),and how to approach them professionally. A great addition to any shelf of writery books. Recommended'- 255 Book Review,'Quite different from any other writing guide I've ever come across'- Antonia Honeywell,Booktime Brunch
