Writers and Artists Yearbook

Everyone who is submitting to publishers, agents, papers, radio etc needs a copy of this. Check your library if you can afford or justify one every year. The business changes fast.

BUT

I can't believe that in the competition they had for the first chunk of a novel (10K words), mine wasn't placed. They had 100 who won a critique. 100 of the extracts submitted were better than mine? I'm devastated. I'm dreaming up possible conspiracies. Why not me? Were they looking for deep, searing, incisive novels about relationships? Do these writers actually exist?
