Like many who work in the book (and reviewing) world, I’m constantly asked by aspirant writers: where do I start? The answer is easy: pick up the new edition (the 107th) of the Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook (Bloomsbury, £19.99), which is now out, complete with advice for writers of erotic fiction, flash fiction and those considering self-publishing (amongst masses of other guidance). I’ve always found it immensely useful.
