Reader Reviews
This book and its companion website have been indispensible for me. The sheer breadth of markets and contact info is enough to make it worth it, but I also love the search capabilities of the website and the submission tracker, which I use every time I send out a query or get a response. No need for vast index card files anymore; now I can just click to find out if I've submitted to a market before, which editor responded, what the feedback was, etc. There is no better book for writers looking for markets for their work. Whether you write books or articles, you're bound to find appropriate publishers here-- usually with website and e-mail addresses included, along with the pay rate and what each one is looking for. This series represents a tremendous amount of research and saves me a ton of money and time in tracking down writer's guidelines and trying to ascertain needs, contact info, rates, etc. for each publication. I found my first paying markets in the Writer's Market many years ago, and have bought the book every year since then. I wouldn't have a career without it, and now I can't imagine doing without the online version, either. If I just came up with a great idea for an article about a health topic, I can search (with one click) to find out which high-paying magazines publish health articles, accept queries by e-mail, and have websites. You're truly missing out if you don't have this book on your reference shelf. --Jenna Glatzer Author of MAKE A REAL LIVING AS A FREELANCE WRITER and editor of AbsoluteWrite.com
