So critics ignore you - invent them
Article Abstract:
Frey North is a novelist who has written 'Sally' and 'Chloe', both novels about women seeking fulfilment in love after previous problems with men. North worked as a picture-researcher when she was writing 'Sally', and her novel was initially rejected. She invented reviews from a number of critics and this led publishers to be more interested in her work, to the extent that her agent was able to reject an offer. She argues that writers need discipline, and that they should think about how they can be published.

Catch them when they're young
Article Abstract:
It is possible to identify future violent offenders at a very early age, according to Professor Adrian Raine of the University of California. He believes that biology plays a key role in whether a person becomes an offender, and that babies with specific chemical imbalances in the brain and have been rejected by their mothers aer more likely than others to become criminals. His views have been received with scepticism by some observers, who believe that he overlooks the social causes of crime.

A spanking good read for a Major
Article Abstract:
The Erotic Print Society Review has been relaunched as a bi-monthly entitled The Erotic Review. This publication is also taking advertising for the first time. It seems to wish to be seen as very cultured, and illustrations are restricted to a few small line drawings. There is a strong female input into the production of the magazine, but it still has a very strongly male overtone, and is unlikely to appeal to women at all. It is also questionable whether the magazine is really erotic.
