Writer's and Artists' Yearbook Guide to Getting Published

Written from the author's point of view, this is an expert guide to the process of getting published - from submitting your work and finding an agent, to working with a publishing house and understanding the book trade. The book also provides invaluable insights through interviews with authors, agents and publishers - including the CEO of Harper Studio, and the Editorial Director of Pan Macmillan - as well as buyers from Waterstones and Asda. Expert advice is given on: finding an agent or publisher, writing successful covering letters and synopses, understanding contractual terms, working with publishers, the editorial process, and your role in helping to publicise your work. Getting Published will enable you to market your work more professionally, understand the relationship you will have with both agent and publisher and offers a contemporary inside view of the publishing industry. Along with the essential contacts in the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook, this is a professional tool you will not want to be without. 'Invaluable to writers of all kinds.'
