Jim Swallow's advice to the aspiring writer

M'colleague James Swallow knows a thing or two about this business we call Writing and has had many experiences - both good and bad - after than well over a decade of working freelance.

He has distilled much of what he has learnt into a number of very readable, interesting and (in some cases) cautionary blog posts which you can find over at his website here.

I particularly like Some Books Every Writer Ought To Own (Or At Least Read) and the cautionary tale Lies, Damned Lies and other PR.
