An indispensable guide to getting published
6th edition fully
revised & updated
By
Tina Shaw
With new chapters on digital publishing and
writing fiction, and a totally updated directory of magazines, newspapers and publishers, this comprehensive handbook should be part of every Kiwi writer’s
toolkit.
First published in 1990, the Bateman New Zealand
Writer’s Handbook is now in its sixth edition.
Considered by many to be the classic
guide for writers, it has been revised and updated to bring it right up to the
present day. Over the years, it has held an essential place on the work desks
of New Zealanders who write, whether that be freelance journalism or
book-length publications. A recommended text for writing courses around the
country, the Handbook offers advice on a myriad of useful subjects including:
where to get your manuscript assessed
how to present your manuscript for publication
researching your family history or whakapapa
apps and authors
writing
for children and young adults
details
of awards and fellowships
a
plethora of writing courses
and
the nitty gritty of taxation
As in previous editions, the Handbook offers
up-to-date directories of magazines, newspapers and publishers. New chapters
look at the art of writing fiction and the basics of digital publishing.
