Synopsis

The latest edition of `Who else writes like...?', is a guide designed to help lovers of fiction discover new authors.
Now in its sixth edition, this established book points readers in the direction of other writers they might like to try by recommending up to 12 alternatives for each of the more than 1,970 authors included in the guide, who write in a similar style. This latest edition covers almost 500 authors not in any of the previous volumes.

In addition to the main sequence, there are separate lists of pseudonyms and authors by genre; a guide to characters series; details of prize winning novelists from 2000; a list of 'crossover' authors, who may be suitable for young adults to try; and a bibliography of other reading guides and useful websites.

About this title

From the Publisher

We are proud to be associated with the latest edition of this readers' guide. The range of fiction available can present a bewildering choice for readers, and each new edition of `Who else writes like...?' has included more authors than the last. Although some authors from previous editions are inevitably omitted to make space, the guide presents a comprehensive picture of who else writes like the most popular authors in the UK today.

In an age where it is easy for websites to make automatic recommendations based on customer purchases, it is good to see that a considered, expert, opinion is still valued. The combination of reader popularity and expert opinion make this guide invaluable for all who love reading, not just for librarians.

About the Author

`Who else writes like...?' is compiled by Roy and Jeanne Huse, who have over 50 years combined experience in libraries and who are advised by a panel of librarians from across the UK and in Australia.
