“A step by step guide to the art of writing.”

The first page of a manuscript will tell the editor/agent whether the work has been done by a professional or a rank amateur. And every writer has the potential to be a polished professional or remain a hopeful amateur. This book aims to bridge the gap.

To give a manuscript the best chance in the market place it must demonstrate an ability to tell a good story in a print-ready manuscript. Editors/publishers do not do rewrites unless the author is world famous or the story is outstanding.

Every writer has the choice of sending a strong manuscript that attracts the editor or send a poorly written manuscript that won’t even be ready. Why should an editor/agent read a manuscript that looks bad from the first page, when they can choose from hundreds of polished alternatives each week.

The basic skills of writing apply to all aspects of writing whether poetry, drama, literature or pulp fiction and those basic skills can be learned. This book outlines the skills and shows how they should be applied.
