78 Reasons Why Your Book May Never Be Published and 14 Reasons Why It Just Might by Pat Walsh

For the hundreds of thousands who buy writers' guides every year, at last there's one that tells the ugly truth: writers who can't get published are usually making a lot of mistakes. This honest, often funny,  book shows them how to identify their own missteps, stop listening to bad advice, and get to work. Drawing on his experience as founding editor of MacAdam/Cage, Pat Walsh gives writers what they need--specific, straightforward feedback to help them overcome bad habits and bad luck. He avoids the optimistic, sometimes misleading directions often found in publishing how-to books and presents the industry as it is, warts and all. Here is the first guide that tells writers just what the odds against them are and gives them practical tips for evening them.

Pat Walsh is a skilled archaeologist and an amateur historian who is fascinated by Britain's rich mythology. She was born in a haunted house in Kent and now lives with her husband and children in Bedfordshire, UK. THE CROWFIELD DEMON is the follow-up to her debut novel, THE CROWFIELD CURSE.
