'I wish I'd had this book when I started out fifteen years ago.. it's perfectly pitched for the capable, confident and hard-grafting writer who lacks just one thing: contacts' Fiona Gibson, literaturetraining.com 'For the absolute beginner, this is an insightful resource that's as readable as it is helpful.
