Gaynor Davies, Fiction Editor, Womans Weekly
A brilliant read.
Freya North
Helpful, warm and generous. If I were starting out now, Id find it invaluable. Isabel Wolff
Excellent. A must-have book for every budding writer.
The New Writer
beautifully amusing In the world of serious and frequently daunting advice for writers, Wannabe a Writer? is as refreshing as a fizzing Alka-Seltzer after a big night out. National Association of Writers Groups
I dont think Id have taken so long to write a publishable novel if Id had this book to hand! Katie Fforde
Brilliant!
Sue Cook
I bought Wannabe A Writer? on a whim, having dabbled with writing since school. Following Jane Wenham-Jones practical and witty advice, it didnt take long to sell my first short story. It was as if someone had just flipped a switch and I knew how to do it. Two years later, I have publishing contracts for eight books and owe Ms Wenham-Jones a very large drink.
Tamsyn Murray, childrens and teen author of My So-Called Afterlife (Piccadilly Press) and the Stunt Bunny series (Simon & Schuster) www.tamsynmurray.co.uk,
Wannabe Writer? brought me out of the closet. Having read it, I felt full of regret for my lost years scribbling away in secret and then hiding my work from prying eyes. Now three years on, I have written four novels and been signed up by an agent. Being the author of a published novel, one day, is now a real goal rather than just a wistful, secret daydream.
Annie Ireson
When I read Wannabe A Writer, I felt as if Jane Wenham-Jones was sitting next to me on the sofa explaining how I too could get published. Her honesty in owning up to mistakes and her sense of humour along with her invaluable knowledge of the whole industry, inspired me. I followed her advice to the letter, wrote a proposal to How to Books, and they offered me a contract. Id never have done it without Wannabe a Writer.

Wannabe a Writer? will keep you entertained from beginning to end, as well as providing you with invaluable information about writing and getting published. After suffering a few rejections, Wannabe a Writer? gave me a much-needed boost and it really helped me focus on my goal and make sure I wasnt repeating old mistakes. Shortly afterwards, I got a two book deal with Headline review and I am currently writing my third novel. Add Wannabe a Writer? to your list of must have books and get writing!
Sasha Wagstaff, author of Changing Grooms and Wicked Games (Headline)
For my parents Felicity and Roy. Without whom Id never have been heard of at all
I always look forward to writing these because it means Ive finished the book and always stress in case I forget someone. Am so sorry if, this time, it happens to be you!
There are too many names to list them all so I will simply say I am massively grateful to every single person mentioned in this book. I am constantly touched and humbled by the generosity of other writers and I appreciate your time answering my questions, your patience when I hassled and chased, and your collective wit, wisdom and expertise.
Thank you too to all my fabulous twitter friends it would have been finished a lot sooner without you but wouldnt have been half the fun.
Rave reviews also to: Emma Leatt who did such a sterling job on the index (and whoever came up with the concept of work experience), Bill Harris who took my photographs with great fortitude, Shirley Webb who stepped in when I couldnt draw dogs, my agent Teresa Chris for all her (fierce ) support, the wonderful Lunching & Chatting group from the Wannabe website for their friendship and enthusiasm and everyone at Accent Press. (I am banned from mentioning my son Tom in print on the grounds that I am an embarrassment but he is, of course, still my little soldier whose support I treasure and whom I love to bits xx).
They say its not what you know, but who you know, and in that Ive been very lucky. To all the fantastic authors, editors, producers, fellow-hacks and assorted greats of the literary and media world who have helped me, not only with this book but so many things along the way since I started writing, I am indebted. Love yer all. Thank you. And it must be my round
I still remember my early days as an author when my main experience of publicising my novels was to do everything I could to avoid it! I was terrified of giving talks and dreaded the thought of people sitting at home, listening to me on the radio. I wish Id been able to read this book back then. Wannabe a Writer Weve Heard Of? is fantastically informative in ways I would never have imagined. Ive published more than 20 novels now but, reading this, Ive still learned many tips and tricks about promotion and PR I didnt know before and, more to the point, I shall be employing them.
This guide covers not only getting into print, but how to get your book out there to be appreciated by as many people as possible. The advice is invaluable and thanks to JWJ Im now working on my first ever elevator pitch. (Watch out Stephen Spielberg that means YOU!)
Jane writes so entertainingly, and with such verve and wit, that anyone would enjoy this book, even those who dont want to be published and have never written anything longer than a shopping list its that much fun to read.
To sum up I really, really recommend this guide read it, learn from it and be braver than you think you are. Seriously, it could change your life.
And to all you writers out there, good luck!
Jill Mansell
Some writers are shy, retiring creatures who like nothing better than to remain in their dusty attics hunched over their latest masterpiece, shunning the limelight. Forced to stumble, blinking, into the real, commercial world, they mumble in self-effacing fashion when interviewed about their literary endeavours and scuttle back to their desks the moment all that nasty centre-of-attention stuff is over.
I am not one of those.
And if youve just got your first book deal, are working at getting a book deal one day, are thinking of self-publishing and want to shift a few of the books when you do, or have been published for a while but arent selling as many books as youd like to, then it would be as well if you werent either.
Some books fly off shelves and websites all on their own, just by wordof-mouth, without a single bit of advertising, marketing or the author ever being interviewed anywhere. But its unusual.
