Our Review

This essential industry guide delivers comprehensive, up-to-date information for navigating the complex world of publishing and media. The completely revised 2018 edition provides practical guidance on manuscript submissions, agent contacts, and market opportunities across all writing genres. New articles from established authors like Tom Holland on popular history and Kimberley Chambers on thriller writing offer insider perspectives, while Diana Athill's piece on editing provides crucial insight into the revision process. This reference work functions as both a directory and a masterclass in professional writing practices.

What distinguishes this yearbook is its balance of inspirational advice and concrete, actionable industry data that writers can immediately apply to their careers. The inclusion of niche market guidance—such as Anita's analysis of the health and wellness sector—ensures relevance for both generalists and specialists in the writing field. Aspiring authors will particularly benefit from Gillian Stern's transparent exploration of ghostwriting, demystifying this often-overlooked career path. For anyone serious about publication, this annually updated resource provides the current market intelligence and professional wisdom needed to transform writing ambitions into published reality.
