Essential journalistic reading - By: M. Waddington, 26 Feb 2006 
Not only indespensible for aspiring journalists but also a damn interesting readin its own right.
The best of its kind - By: M. WILLIAMS, 09 Feb 2006 There are few good books on freelance nonfiction writing but this is the best I know of by far. Much better too than the dozens of American books on this topic which look childish by comparison & are much less useful for British writers. It's a dense, difficult book (ie, it takes commitment to work through it properly), but when you get itin your hands you realise this is the real deal. That this is what you were after. My copy is the third edition & I'll be getting this new edition soon.
The best edition so far - By: , 11 Nov 2005 I've bought the previous two editions of this book & they were good, this one is by far the best. Excellent!
The layout is clearer & there's plenty of practical advice, suggestions & examples. The only small grumble I have is that it would be better if there was a chapter on marketing yourself as a freelance. But that is a small grumble, as this book is the best on feature writing I've read. And I've read a lot of writing books!
My 'Bible'! - By: , 21 Jan 2001 This was my primary reference source when I was self-teaching myself to become a writerin 1996/7. I have subsequently had over 12,000 words & 260 pictures publishedin 20 UK leisure & lifestyle magazines seen by approximately 2.5 million readers.
One of the better books on feature writing. - By: , 09 Oct 2000 
I would recommend this to intermediate level writers - those who are not complete beginners, but not seasoned professionals either. They will benefit most. Some sections are out of date, of course.
