Product description

Review

"There's no substitute for a thorough understanding of the pressures on one's clients - and this book certainly provides that. Which is why I shall be making copies available to many of the people working in our business who are in day-to-day contact with publishers and customers."-- "Sheila Bounford"

"This clear, detailed, and soberly factual account of the ins and outs of book publishing as a business is aimed, as the title makes clear, at would-be-publishers...But much of its contents will be of equal interest to aspiring or practising writers...The guide's authors are reasonably up-front about a central question of equal interest to writers and publishers alike: how to tell in advance whether a book will sell or not."-- "The Self Publishing Magazine"

"This handbook allows the readers to become familiar with legal, taxation, and employment regulations, and how to avoid bureaucracy in the EU. A practical source, the handbook discusses some of the key issues that need to be addressed when drawing up a business plan for operation in a new EU market."-- "Abstracts of Public Administration, Development and Environment"

"This title is a plain-speaking guide to the business of what goes into making and selling a book for those just starting out in publishing. The book goes a long way to fill in those crucial gaps in knowledge for those in their first job in publishing, or still trying to get to grips with who does what and why."-- "Rebecca Haworth"

I was still at school when my first story was accepted for publication. This was so exciting and I was over the moon when at last I received a copy of Collins 1966 Children’s Annual with my tale of a magic sandcastle there inside. Wow! I had done it, achieved my childhood ambition to be an author … However, it would be another twenty years or so before my next story emerged in print.

I kept beavering away, had some tales read aloud on the BBC’s Listen with Mother – and now, I am lucky enough to have nearly 500 works published – for both children and adults. Mind you, there are still hundreds more stories buzzing around in my head so watch this space!!
