Writers' & Artists' Yearbookbest-selling guide to publishers, agents, and outlets If you've just finished producing your masterpiece, this book will help you to bring it to the marketplace. It's a well-established reference guide for writers, journalists, photographers, and other people in the creative arts.
Bonus items seem to be added with each edition - such as a list of the highest earning books of the previous year, specialist literary agents, how to prepare and submit a manuscript, and even (if the worst comes to the worst) how to claim social security benefits. The latest edition also includes sections on e-publishing, ghostwriting, distribution, adaptation, and digital imaging. Additions to the latest edition include: Self-publishing; How to publicise your book; Print on demand; How to get an agent's attention: Marketing yourself online; Getting cartoons published; Blogging; Crime writing; and Can you recommend an agent? Like many other reference books, it represents very good value for money in terms of bulk information - but more importantly it's information which is reliable, up-to-date, and difficult to locate elsewhere. If you have any serious intention of entering the commercial market as a writer or someone working in one of the other creative arts - then this is a book which you will need sooner or later. It's no wonder that it sits near the top of the Amazon ratings all the year round. © Roy Johnson 2009 [more WRITING SKILLS books] Writers' & Artists' Yearbook, London: A & C Black (issued annually) pp.832, ISBN 1408111276
