How to Write a Bestselling Self-Help Book:
The 69 Fatal Mistakes You Should Avoid by Jean Marie Stine Our Price: £2.49
This kind of book is quite important for me since I plan to publish a business book myself. The subject is covered very well and the writer seems quite experienced in the business of editing books. There are a lot of detailed descriptions of things you may get wrong or leave incomplete (when you write a book that you don't want to self publish).
The guide is relatively easy to follow and presents a lot of useful ideas, like the strategy to have before you approach a potential publisher or thinks to do for follow-up and support of your already published book. Reviewer: GEORGE DIAKONIKOLAOU from ATHENS, ATTICA Greece

Successful Television Writing by Lee Goldberg & William Rabkin Our Price: £9.91
The ultimate insider's guide to writing and pitching winning television scripts
Written by two TV veterans who have written and produced some of the most popular programs of the last ten years, Successful Television Writing is the ultimate insider's guide for anyone who's ever watched television and thought, "I could do that!" While their narrative is breezy and conversational and liberally spiced with telling anecdotes about life in the television industry, Goldberg and Rabkin never lose sight of what aspiring writers need to know. Readers get a gold mine of advice and guidance on all aspects of writing for television. Among other things, they learn the crucial elements of good television script writing, including the teaser, the four-act breakdown, episode-ending tags, and others that keep viewers tuned in week after week. They also get insider tips on what producers are really looking for and how to pitch ideas to them, as well as tips on how to sell a proposal, deal with last-minute revisions, and even land a full-time writing gig.
Lee Goldberg and William Rabkin (both of Los Angeles, CA) have written and produced a number of hit shows, including Baywatch, Spencer: For Hire, A&E's Nero Wolfe movies, Sliders, and others. Their executive producing credits include the long-running Diagnosis Murder and Martial Law. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Written in an informal, conversational style, this practical guide shows readers not only the crucial elements to writing a good television screenplay (the four-act breakdown, episode-ending tags, what draws viewers back to their favorite show week after week, among other aspects) but, just as important, the steps to getting one's spec script noticed, pitching ideas to producers and, eventually, getting hired as a full-time writer.
