non-fic book article in WM Dec 09
As soon as I saw this article I jumped at it. Writing a non-fic book is difficult and I admit I wasn't sure how the publishing end worked. Although I'm now more informed about approaching a publisher I find until ALL the grueling research is done I can't even begin to put my book together, forget about writng a sample chapter to send off! Am I doing somwething wrong?

The most difficult thing for me was the worry that I might have got something wrong - so getting professionals and 'experts' to read and check was important. Once I got into it though I enjoyed the non-fiction writing. I also met some wonderful and interesting people in the course of doing all the research.
Good luck with your book H.
Thank you to everyone's advice, I'm off to write a book! :D
