Book description
Many people feel they might have a book in them - but how do you know
whether you have what it takes to be a writer, whether your writing is
any good, what you should write about and whether you should dedicate
proper time to begin your dream?
This book asks pertinent questions of you via a questionnaire
to help you discover whether there is a talented writer in you. Each
chapter provides background to the relevant point in the questionnaire.
Packed with advice from experienced writers
including known authors; P D James, Philip Pullman, Jacqueline
Wilson, Margaret Drabble, Katie Fforde
and more. Expert advice from Daniel Roche (BA President), independent
booksellers, publishers Helen Fraser (Penguin) and Ian Trewin (Chairman
Cheltenham Literary Festival and administrator, Man Booker Prize),
agents and creative writing tutors. Foreword by columnist and writer
Katharine Whitehorn.
Alison Baverstock is a former publisher and now author, who writes
