I'm not saying all publishers have to be literary, but some interest in books would help.
If you imagine writing 1,000 words a day, which most journalists do, that would be a very long book a year.
I don't write books inadvertently.
My kind publishers, Toby Mundy and Margaret Stead of Atlantic Books, have commissioned me to write the life of Queen Victoria.
This book has been a catalogue of mistakes by politicians, moral and practical disasters which led to wars, enslavement and wretchedness on a scale which no previous age could have dreaded or dreamed of.
