One of my bosses, as it were, Jonathan Oliver, editor-in-chief of Abaddon Books and Solaris, has followed the trend set by the Guardian recently and published his own ten rules of writing.
Jon's take on the topic is written from both an editor's and an author's point of view, and advises you on how to get published in the first place, and then how to (just as importantly) stay published.
You can read it for yourself here.
And on the subject of Abaddon Books, the latest Abaddon and Solaris podcast is now up on iTunes and can be downloaded from here, for free. I make an appearance, as one of those interviewed at the SFX Weekender, about 49 minutes in (if you're interested).
"The modern master of the gamebook format" (Rob Sanders)... "Can do dark very well" (Jonathan Oliver)... "Green gets mileage out of his monsters" (SFX Magazine)... "It takes a firm editorial hand and a keen understanding of the tone of each piece to make a collection this diverse work, and Green makes it look effortless" (Starburst Magazine)... "A charming blend of camp creatures, humour, and genuine horror" (Set the Tape)
