Journalist turned novelists Louisa Young points out that "Everyone believes he or she has a novel inside them ("And most of the time that's where it should stay!" respond the knackered, uncharitable readers of publishers' slushpiles.) Ninety-five per cent, I think, of novels submitted to publishers don't get published. Of those that do, few enough make any waves, fans, or money." But where others fail, Young succeeded. Here she charts her progress from humble hack to selling the movie rights of a book to Spielberg. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
