I'm now conducting mini-interviews with the publishers of other imprints in the JHP stable and posting them on facebook.com/JHPCompassBooks for the benefit of writers looking for publishing opportunities. Although I'm commissioning editor for Compass Books I'm a writer first and foremost, so there's always one eye on giving writers the maximum amount of information and encouragement. There are now some very interesting titles in the pipeline and the introduction of the 25,000-word Compass Points series has attracted those experienced writers who would be hard pressed to drag a how-to book out for 45,000 words. On a personal note, How To Write for the How-To Markets and The Country Writer's Craft are scheduled for publication mid-2013. If you have written or are in the throes of writing a full-length book - fact or fiction - keep an eye on the Compass Books' facebook for opportunities.
