Allan Guthrie's headshot

I'm an award-winning crime novelist, have worked as an editor for a number of publishers, ran my own digital publishing company, and also co-founded the North Literary Agency. I've given over 200 talks and workshops related to the book business, from self-editing tips to how to get published. (Photo credit: David Bishop)
