Do Potters Write Books?

By Christine Mallaband-Brown
They say everyone’s got at least one book inside them, but have you ever wondered what to do once you've created it? Here’s some information that might help ... so come on all you budding authors out there it’s definitely worth having a go!

Want some basic tips that might help you get over those first writing terrors and help you avoid the cliché ridden pitfalls that face so many writing virgins? Well look no further!

‘Vanity’ versus ‘Internet’ publishing? Are either of them worth trying? Or maybe you want to self publish. There’s a lot of information out there and it can be confusing.

You can learn a lot by checking out publishing companies and agents on line. Watch out for the scams though ... there are a lot of people out there who will let you do all the donkeywork - and get you to pay for it all yourself.

Also, the Writers and Artists Yearbook should be available at your local Library, where you may also be able to find details about Writing workshops and groups. The Golden Rule is: When in doubt don't pay out - and try and find someone who believes you have a talent and is willing to work with your creativity!
