Review

"My 'Bible'! This was my primary reference source when I was self-teaching myself to become a writer in 1996/7. I have subsequently had over 12,000 words and 260 pictures published in 20 UK leisure and lifestyle magazines seen by approximately 2.5 million readers."

"One of the better books on feature writing. I would recommend this to intermediate level writers - those who are not complete beginners, but not seasoned professionals either. They will benefit most."

"The best book ever on article writing."
James Gracie, Writer's Monthly

From the Author

I think my background and experience are especially appropriate for the task of helping budding writers and writers in mid career. I have combined writing a lot for a variety of publications with teaching a lot, and the latter at various levels. I have been able to show how to adapt writing skills not only to various kinds of journalism but to other demands on a writer. The 4th edition has been updtaed with a chapter on Researching and Writing Online.
