 Valuable reource & reference September 6, 2008
I am a writer and this is my second edition of the Writer's Market, which is kinda one of a writer's main reference guides to resources for publishing. It also has handly info on contests. I like the fact I can go to a particular section and read about all the different magazines and trade publications for that subject in one place -- many of which I did not know about -- and quickly assess what they look for and how much they pay. One thing, however -- you should always check to be sure the same contact person is still at the workplace -- editors are quick to dismiss unsolicited work and queries and if it looks like you haven't done your homework on the publication to see who is still on the masthead, they'll toss your submission or letter into the round file.
a handy tool July 26, 2008
2008 writer's market is a thick book, and has the listings for publishers, and some literary agents. For a FULL listing of agents one must purchase the literary agents guide. This is a heck of deal compared to paying $300 for a Literary marketplace. And keep in mind MOST places that do carry refrence titles, such as a liebrary, do not have the most up to date version of that. Always make sure to check the agents or publisher web-site for the latest info on submissions. It is a handy tool that is full of info about how to compose a query letter, basics on publishing poetry, freelance newspaper writing 101, non-fiction book proposals, the best part of the book is how easy they have made it to find a publisher that prints a certain genre, just look in the index, also some have tips on submitting a work to the publisher. This book is for more writers that do not need an agent, or if you want to sumit a work to a publishing house unagented, most publishers refuse unagented submissions, unless they are a newspaper, magazine, etc. If you have a book that you wish to be published, ficton or not get the literary agents guide first.
 Cannot Do Without! July 6, 2008
As an author...this is a necessary reference book for me. It takes a great deal of research for such a presentation. I sincerely thank Author/Editor, Robert Lee Brewer, and Assistant Editor, Chuck Sambuchino, for their very timely efforts into the publication of the Writer's Market, for the benefit of all writers.

The 2008 Writer's Market Deluxe Edition cuts through the guessing at to which publisher I need to look at and which are not right for my work.
This addition also has the online access to it's resources. Easier to search. Great addition.

I didn't even know there was such a book with so much information about publishers. This book will save me time finding the right publisher.
