Waterstone’s Launches Guide to Getting Published

Waterstones.com has launched The Waterstone’s Guide to Getting Published.

With advice on everything from the role of an agent to how to approach a publisher, it provides tips on alternative routes to the reader through self-publishing and blogging.

Included are helpful quotes from Waterstone’s experts and industry insiders from The Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook 2008.

Waterstones.com editor, Greg Eden said: “We can’t guarantee The Waterstone’s Guide to Getting Published will get you a book deal, but it will make the process of trying a lot less scary. Sometimes the difference between getting published can be a matter of just following a few simple rules, so reading our guide could make all the difference.”

The guide is to be the first activity in The Writer’s Year, a 12-month calendar of events and activities highlighting the role of the author and the special relationship between writers and readers.

Other highlights of the year will be selection of the very best in literary fiction from new writers in March’s New Voices, a revealing look at a bestselling author’s favourite books in May on The Writer’s Table, and focuses on local favourites, children’s writing and poetry later in the year.

Meanwhile, the guide can be found at Waterstone's website
