Examples of a Writer's CV
I know this has been a regular topic and I have looked through previous threads but I still can't find what I want. I have looked through the Internet to find examples of writer's CVs but I'm still struggling.
So I don't have much (or anything) to put on it at the moment but I want to start building one. I have an idea of what needs to go on but don't know what it should generally 'look' like. Can anyone point me in the direction of some example writer's cvs???
