This review is from: How to Write for the New Age Market (Paperback)

Anyone who is getting ready to write for this market needs this book. Richard Webster has written 25 New Age Books and has it down pat. In this book he tells you just how to do do it. He shares writing secrets from masters like Jack London, Earl Stanley Gardner and more. Researching, outlining, revising, even choosing the right kind of publisher and preparing the submission package are covered. There are whole chapters on contracts, how to work with editors and promoting your book. In other words he covers everything from start to finish. A writer couldn't ask for more. Webster knows his stuff and gets across to a new writer with ease. A must for a writer's library.
