Here's a bargain for anyone who feels the urge to write fiction.Take a writer with over fifty years of experience as a novelist and publisher. Suppose he writes seven separate guides on the business of writing and publishing fiction.Then suppose this writer makes an omnibus edition of those guides available, and offers it for less than one third of the price you would pay for all seven. That's exactly what Michael Allen has done. First novel published in 1963, and still writing fiction, Michael has taken a year to write down everything he has ever learnt in a literary lifetime. His intention has been to write practical, down-to-earth guides, for young and inexperienced writers, on all major aspects of the publishing scene.Fifty years ago, when Michael first went looking for a publisher, there was precious little information available. So Michael has made it his business to compress everything important into these essential guides. And now the omnibus edition, containing all seven, is on sale. Over 125,000 words at a bargain price.

This is a book which will tell you all you need to know about traditional publishing.Publishing is a business which goes back over 500 years, and if you're going to succeed as a writer you need to know how the business has developed and changed during that time. Otherwise you can make serious mistakes, with long-lasting effects.The aims of this book are therefore as follows: to provide you with a short history of publishing, from the beginning of the trade in the late fifteenth century to the present day; to enable you to understand how likely it is that you will be able to interest a traditional publisher in your work; to enable you make informed and realistic decisions on what sort of books to write, and how much time and effort you might sensibly devote to that work; and, finally, to show you that there are now more ways than one to make your work available to the reading public.Michael Allen's first novel was published over fifty years ago (1963). He is the author of numerous other novels and short stories (some written under pen-names) which have variously been published in hardback, paperback, and ebook editions, in the UK, USA, France and Denmark. He has also run two small publishing companies.
