The Writer's Handbook by Barry Turner

This reference book is for all aspiring and professional writers. It covers every possible market - plays, books, news and feature articles, documentaries, radio and TV scripts, poems, short stories and compilations. This second, totally revised and expanded edition includes new sections on American publishing, UK book packagers, poetry and literary grants, updated articles on libel, copyright and contracts and the latest schedule of rates for freelance journalists and writers for TV and radio. A new system of indexing allows for easy cross referencing. In listing all essential names and addresses, the handbook pinpoints key personnel in companies and organizations so that writers can see at a glance who to approach. Advice on how to best present work to publishers, newspapers or production companies is supplemented by tips on what is most likely to sell and to whom. "The Writers' Handbook" contains full lists of agents, grants and scholarships, libraries and research facilities and many other sources of help and information for the busy writer who wants to make money. Barry Turner was Education correspondent for the "Observer" and has written several books on politics, education, travel and the theatre.
