The Nuts and Bolts of Writing by Michael Legat
Designed for would-be authors who want to improve their chances of publication, and especially for those who have difficulty with such matters as punctuation, spelling, grammar and the choice of words. The second part of the book is concerned with the preparation of a typescript, market research, submissions, contracts and many other subjects related to the professional approach to writing. The advices which the author gives stem from his long experience both as a publisher and a writer. Legat has also written "An Author's Guide to Publishing".
