Synopsis:

This invaluable book is written by a working writer - not a professor, not a publisher, not an editor, not an agent. Robert Massello is a writer who speaks his mind with absolute candour on everything aspiring book authors need to know. He explains the publishing process step by step - what to expect, how it works, and what authors can do at each point to keep things going smoothly. Equally important, Masello has a lot of fun doing it. His book is filled with sometimes hilarious anecdotes from his own experiences in the trenches of publishing. WRITER TELLS ALL covers many topics along the way, both large and small, including things every writer needs to know: choosing a book topic (fiction or nonfiction), writing the proposal, selecting an agent, understanding book contracts, finding an editor, losing an editor, following the production process from manuscript to bound book, using your own savvy and contacts to maximise the effect of marketing and publicising the finished product.

About the Author:

Robert Masello is the author of three novels and ten nonfiction books, including A Fri in the Business. He has taught writing classes at the Columbia University School of Journalism and UCLA Extension. He is currently executive story editor for the Aaron Spelling television series Charmed.
