This review is from: Writers' & Artists' Yearbook 2009 (Paperback)

The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook 2009 was delivered to be by Amazon faster than expected and proved to be full of all the information I needed as a new writer. I was able to identify two possible agents to help market my work and am awaiting their replies. The advice from all the expert contributors to the book has enabled me to direct my efforts more effectively and to understand the publishing process.
