Rezensionen
"If you want to set yourself up as an freelance writer of feature articles then here is a book that will give you plenty of solid, professional advice." - Writing Magazine
The best edition so far, I've bought the previous two editions of this book and they were good, this one is by far the best. Excellent! Customer review, Amazon.co.uk, November 11, 2005
Reviews of previous editions: "The best book ever on article writing." James Gracie, Writer's Monthly
