A writer is someone who writes. It sounds obvious, but many people who call themselves writers don't produce enough words in a year to fill a postcard. Other writers churn out thousands of words but never sell their work. This book tackles both problems: it gets you writing, easily and painlessly guiding through the dreaded 'writer's block'; and it divulges industry secrets that will help you to raise the quality of your work to a professional level. Writing is a business like any other. Successful writers know the rules and conventions that make their work stand out from the rest of the ?slush pile? ? rules that are revealed in this book to help launch your writing career. The author has 14 years experience in the publishing industry and has written more than 20 books that have been translated into 6 languages. He has also written for stage, film, television and radio. more...

Hopefully, it will give you the background information you need to form your own opinions, interpretations and theories about how it works. The first myth that needs to be dispelled is the financial holy grail. The myth about a system, strategy or plan that is nearly infallible and gives a foolproof chance of making it in the stock market. Having been involved with the stock market for a number of years, and having worked with many of the top traders, I can say with confidence that there is no such thing as the financial holy grail. There are, though, consistent methodologies that can greatly improve the possibilities of profiting in the stock market in the short, intermediate and long term.

At best, two of the three will be in your favour. For example, the lottery offers exceptional returns and very low risk. You are usually investing (risking) 1 dollar or pound and have the potential to win hundreds, thousands or even millions in return. Even though you have great risk/reward ratio your possibility of success is nearly zero. When trading futures, also called commodities, there are good possibilities you wil more...
