A comprehensive guide to the career of writing from writer and creative writing tutor Sally O'Reilly. The book covers questions such as: If you want to be a writer, should you invest in a creative writing course? Are writing groups a good thing? What grants, awards and prizes are available to the aspiring writer? How should you plan your career in the long term? Features an introduction from Fay Weldon: 'Why I wish I'd read this book when I was 25' - and includes comments and case studies from other established authors, agents and industry experts. Everything that a writer needs to know about running their own career, from choosing an agent to cafe scribbling, and from filing a tax return to flirting with the literati. Sally O'Reilly has an MA in creative writing from Brunel University, is a former associate lecturer with the Open University, and is the author of two novels published under the pseudonym Sam O'Reilly: The Best Possible Taste, 2004, and You Spin Me Round, 2007.
