Excellent condition

Writing is a craft, an art, a gift, a revelation; it is also often challenging and lonely work.

And that is just the start - whether your aim is to get through the obstacle course of publishing, or to develop a talent into a sustaining occupation.

This guide offers ideas and practical help towards all kinds of goals - whether you are writing fiction or fact, for work or pleasure, for print, performance or the screen, for personal development or a wide readership.

Topics include: developing tools and skills; gathering and researching material; drafting, revising, editing; formal and legal considerations; understanding your readership; constructive feedback, writing groups, tuition; finding publishing outlets; commercial publishing, self-publishing; and marketing, reviews and publicity.

During nearly a decade with the NSW Writers Centre, Irina Dunn has advised on every conceivable question an aspiring writer faces.
