You've written a book, triumphantly typed 'The End', but now, it seems, no-one wants to publish it. What do you do next? Author of over thirty novels, stories and screenplays, and tutor on the prestigious creative writing course at Bath Spa, Fay Weldon has a lifetime of wisdom to impart on the art of writing.
Why Will No-One Publish My Novel? will delight and amuse, but it
isn't just another how-to-write handbook: it shows you how
not to write if you want to get published.
