Product Description
Every novelist, screenwriter and oral storyteller faces the challenge of creating original and exciting characters, Archetypes - mythic, cross-cultural models from which all characters originate - provide a solid foundation upon which to fashion new and vastly different story people. 45 Master Characters explores the most common male and female archetypes, provides instructions for using them to create your own original characters, and gives examples of how other authors have brought such archetypes to life in novels, film and television. Worksheets are then included for writers to develop and map the lives of their own characters.

Product Description

How often do we ask ourselves, ‘What will make me happy? What do I really want from life?’ In A Life of One’s Own Marion Milner explores these questions and embarks on a seven year personal journey to discover what it is that makes her happy.

On its first publication, W.H. Auden found the book ‘as exciting as a detective story’ and, as Milner searches out clues, the reader quickly becomes involved in the chase. Using her own personal diaries, kept over many years, she analyses moments of everyday life and discovers ways of being, of looking, of moving, that bring surprising joy – ways which can be embraced by anyone.

With a new introduction by Rachel Bowlby this classic remains a great adventure in thinking and living and will be essential reading for all those interested in reflecting on the nature of their own happiness – whether readers from a literary, an artistic, a historical, an educational or a psychoanalytic/psychotherapeutic background.

Product Description
Working editors share inside information on how book publishing really works

Based on penetrating interviews with 44 experienced editors, this essential guide gives you the lowdown on everything you need to know to get published faster and easier. No matter what publishing category you want to break into—fiction, cookbooks, self-help, computer books, science fiction, mysteries, reference, or children's books—you'll find the information you need from an editor who specializes in that area. Here's the inside scoop on:

Book proposals: Create the kind of query letter or book proposal that editors prefer
Agents: Figure out if you need one and how to find the best agent for your work
Bestsellers: Is it luck or are they "made"?
Publishing decisions: Who really has the final say
Book packagers: What they do for authors and editors
Publishing lingo: understand terms like "slush pile,""backlist," "remainders," etc.

Amazon.com Review
In this collection, 43 book editors from across the publishing spectrum spill the beans, Q&A style, about what they're looking for from writers, and what writers can expect from them. Half of the book is devoted to general book publishing; the other half comprises interviews with more specialized editors (among them, those who edit art books, self-help books, religious books, cookbooks, computer books, and textbooks). Book Editors Talk to Writers is a great resource for writers hoping to present an informed front: it divulges inside know-how on writing proposals, researching competing books, negotiating contracts, interacting with editors, bottom-line pressures, the extent to which a writer's participation in marketing aids a book, and more. Most interesting are the contradictions that arise when so many editors are asked similar questions. The lesson is that it behooves the writer in search of a publisher to find out as much about a prospective editor as possible. This is not to say that there aren't things most of them agree upon. "One of the big misconceptions people have about editors," says Rebecca Saletan, "is that they think we sit here surrounded by masterpieces, trying to decide which of them to publish." In fact, adds David Rosenthal, "there are very few really good unpublished authors around." And keep in mind Carole DeSanti's perspective that "editors feel beleaguered, overworked, and underappreciated a lot of the time."
