The Truth About Writing

The Truth about Writing  By Michael Allen

Here at last is a book that tells writers how to survive and prosper in the mad worlds of publishing, theatre, television, and film. Michael Allen can draw on over fifty years of experience as a writer and publisher. In this hard-hitting and sometimes controversial book he tells writers the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth – no matter how uncomfortable that may sometimes be. ‘Thoroughly enjoyed the book – made me laugh in parts. Most of it needed saying, and I say much of it frequently!’ Sheila Nugent, editor of Peninsular ‘Loved the book. It’s going to help a lot of writers to think clearly about their craft and what they expect to accomplish.’ Tim Bete, Director, Erma Bombeck’s Writer’s Workshop
