Rather controversial personal view of writing and how it relates to publishing, which is generally quite critical of publishers. Our reviewer said: 'If I feel I’ve been stapled to the wall by a barrage of ‘must’s and ‘should’s, I don’t look as favourably on the text as I would if I feel a range of options has been laid out for me to sample.'
