**Wiremill Publishing has launched the first 23 titles in its new QuickGuides series
of 24-page books covering many different aspects of the voluntary sector.**

Fundraising, technology, governance and marketing are among the 23 titles available
this year, with another 50 titles planned for 2005.

QuickGuides are designed as an inexpensive way of learning about a subject quickly
and easily. Unusually they are non-country specific. Every guide is written by a
practitioner in one country and reviewed by a practitioner in another country.

Nancy Bikson, MD of Wiremill Publishing, said: “After 25 years in the sector I know
how desperately short of time everyone is and how much good, authoritative, quick
information is needed. QuickGuides are written like bullet points or the notes of
a speech.”

The QuickGuide to Understanding Fundraising was written by Adrienne Hall, an independent
consultant in marketing and development to arts and education.

Each QuickGuide costs £8.
