THE WRITER'S MARKET
THE NEW ZEALAND WRITER’S HAND.- | BOOK, edited for the P.E.N. (N.Z. Centre) | v4 Stuart Perry; A. H. and A. W. Reed, | ie : [VERY writer who has freelanced is | ~ in debt to the various English and| Australian writers’ handbooks, each | having as its core the market guide- | a list of periodicals, publishers and | agents with an indication of their needs and scale of payments. For most young writers this will be the most interesting part of the New Zealand handbook, now making its welcome first appearance; though the picture it gives of the limits of the market, and of the shyness of many editors in discussing scales of payment, is a little depressing, Nevertheless, this market guide, and Alan Mulgan’s article which accompanies it. is a valuable beginning, and ‘here ‘s excellent value in the articles which make up. the rest (and bigger part) of the book. These tell the writer what he should know about reference aids, libel and copyright, publishers’ agreements, taxation, literary awards and much else besides, There is even some advice on how to write, though for some reason this is confined to articles on play-
writing for radio and stage.
