Publisher's Synopsis

Completely revised and updated with newly commissioned articles, The Writer's Handbook 2006 is an indispensible companion for everyone in the writing profession. Packed full of provocative articles, useful advice, key contacts, hints and discussion, this practical, straightforward guide provides full details on the key markets. All you need to know about book publishing in the UK and US, agents, newspapers and magazines, screenwriting, TV and radio, film and video, theatre and poetry, writers' courses and circles, festivals, grants and prizes, alongside comprehensive, up-to-date information on taxation, copyright, contracts and much more. This is rounded off with two helpful indexes.

New topics include: pitching and selling your ideas; the thriving market in non-fiction; the boom in comics and illustrated fiction; and a year in the life of a TV sitcom writer.

'This is the book no writer should be without' The Times

'A wise and witty book, packed with useful information' The Society of Authors
