Writing and Editing

Posted by writerlywitterer on 10/04/2019 · 3 Comments

And so, having disposed of the copy edit last week, I am now reliably informed (Natasha is never wrong) that Severn House will post the proofs of the next Jack Blackjack story to me today, so I’ll have to work through them from tomorrow or Friday. It’s an odd job, being a writer. You need … Continue reading →

Tips for Submitting Manuscripts

Posted by writerlywitterer on 15/10/2018 · 13 Comments

I was asked yesterday on Quora about how to present a manuscript for an editor. This is not intended to be a fully-detailed example, but it summarises my own experiences over the last 25 years of professional writing. Since it is pretty much the same whether you are looking at fiction and non-fiction books, I … Continue reading →

Lee Child: "An instant classic British spy novel. Mature, thoughtful, and intelligent. Highly recommended." I've had continuing demands for a sequel to this - perhaps this year! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Act-Vengeance-Michael-Jecks-ebook/dp/B07D3CMG6W/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1541062311&sr=8-2

If you haven't read the Vintener Trilogy, you're in for a treat! Follow the band of archers from the long march to Crecy, to Calais and Neville's Cross, and finally the vicious fighting at Poitiers. This is the story of Berenger Fripper and his men. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083ZCNKDH

If you like your #historicalfiction true to the period, Pilgrim's War, first in the Crusader series, will take you to places you've never been before! "Brilliant start to a new series" "Couldn't put it down" "Excellent" "Sweeping historical epic" https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0843SPJJZ?tag=duckduckgo-osx-uk-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1
