Customer Reviews:
Indispensable tool for writers January 6, 2009 Gave this as a gift to my son who is in his last semester at University as a journalism major. This is a comprehensive, indispensable resource tool for unpublished writers seeking to get their first story or article published. Highly recommended.
Handy Resource January 2, 2009 The book contains easy to use listings with keys for important attributes of different markets. It has a good number of listings, although there is at least one well-known fantasy/sci-fi publication that I noticed is not included. It also has good cross-reference indexes, allowing you to easily zero in on a particular market. There is section at the beginning with writing tips that seems out of place and not very helpful. On the whole, it is an excellent resource for anyone unfamiliar with marketing their work. (Note: our use of the book has been limited to the short story markets.)
Really Helpful September 9, 2008 11 out of 15 found this review helpful
This book is a must have for an emerging writer who is trying to get his work out there. This book eliminates the problem of figuring out where to get started. After your story is complete, search the detailed listings to submit to journals and magazines that would be a good match. I wouldn't have known how to go about becoming a writer if it wasn't for this excellent book.
