'Any bibliophile will find many enjoyable nuggets in this
compendium of book chat' Stephen Poole, Guardian 'An engaging
little eye-opener about the publishing business, full of tasty
nuggets about books, writers and their editors' Sunday Times
'Enjoyable ... engaging ... insightful' Independent Once upon a
time, a writer had an idea. They wrote it down. But what happened
next? Join Rebecca Lee, professional text-improver, as she embarks
on a fascinating journey to find out how words get from an author's
brain to finished, printed books. She'll reveal the dark arts of
ghostwriters, explore the secret world of literary agents and
uncover the hidden beauty of typesetting. Along the way, her quest
will be punctuated by a litany of little-known (but often
controversial) considerations that make a big impact: ellipses,
indexes, hyphens, esoteric points of grammar and juicy
post-publication corrections. After all, the best stories happen
when it all goes wrong. From foot-and-note disease to the town of
Index, Missouri - turn the page to discover how books get made and
words get good.* * Or, at least, better
