Instead of searching through a variety of books to find writing-related information, readers will be able to find everything in just one book. They’ll find more than 1,200 alphabetical entries (cross-referenced for easy use) that define and explain writing terms such as:
- all rights
- Caldecott Medal
- galley
- kill fee
- literary fiction vs. commercial fiction
- trade paperback
- and more!
These listings cover all genres of work, fiction and nonfiction, so that you truly only need one reference book instead of one for each genre. Plus, the Appendix includes charts, forms, and diagrams, including sample contracts, manuscript formatting samples, proofreader’s marks, news release samples, and much more.
This a resource that everyone–writers, editors, poets, students, both beginning and experienced writers–should have on their shelves.
