Synopsis

Everybody's got a book in them somewhere. Or maybe a magazine feature, a newspaper article or even a TV script. Writing is becoming hugely popular, with many people inspired by the 'J.K. Rowling effect'. But it's not all about making money; for anyone with enthusiasm and a love of words, writing is the ideal hobby. This unique book combines both, and shows how writing can be the hobby that pays. It's an easy-to-follow, comprehensive guide aimed at budding writers of any age or ability - but particularly those who've never tried it before and need a little encouragement. Gordon Wells knows all the pitfalls they might face, and as the 'Agony Uncle' for Writer's Monthly he has discovered how to avoid them all. From non-fiction and writing about what you know, to developing characters, plot and dialogue for novels, all the writing fields are here in one book. With a strong, distinctive cover and increased publicity through the author's involvement with writing organisations and their associated publications, this is sure to be a very popular choice with a growing market. It satisfies aspiring writers of all ages and abilities. Written by an experienced author of over 50 books and hundreds of articles, it covers all writing fields and styles.
