Published originally by Arlen House and in a revised edition by Poolbeg Press in 1989, Write and Get Paid for It is the book that, more than any other, has influenced Irish writers, from the unsung heroes and heroines of freelance journalism to bestselling authors like Patricia Scanlan and Cathy Kelly.

If you want to be a writer, this book shows you how – in Terry Prone’s inimitable no-nonsense style: the tools of the trade; how to create a writer’s environment and stick to your guns (and your computer keyboard or pen) in the face of scepticism and rejection; how to pitch ideas and earn your living as a freelance journalist or magazine writer; how to find an agent/publisher for your novel and maximise the exposure and sales of that novel once it is published.

Cheerful, inspiring and realistic, Write and Get Paid for It should be part of the armoury of every aspiring writer.
