THE PUBLISHING MINEFIELD ...

... and how to waltz your way through it


Welcome to The Writers' Workshop - the UK's leading resource for first time writers. We're run by writers for writers & we're here to help.

First time writers are, by definition, amateurs when it comes to the whole business of getting published. Some people self-publish and are very happy with the outcome. Others do so and are bitterly disappointed. Pretty much all professional authors use commercial publishers (and very often literary agents too), but that path is also strewn with pitfalls. Here's our field guide to what's what.
