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.
A wealth of information June 25, 2008
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.
 Very useful information June 17, 2008
I have been looking to buy Writer's Market for awhile. I was surprised with all of the inforamtion that is stored within it's pages. From Freelance writing to Greeting Card companies. Not to mention that there are other Market Books out there. If you are going to submitt poetry to be published, there is a seperate Market book just for poetry. I find this book very usful, and it will help me in the right dierection of where to send my manuscript.2008 Writer's Market2008 Novel & Short Story Writer's Market (Novel and Short Story Writer's Market)
On the Short List for Book References! June 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This resource guide is on the short list of desk references for writers. This includes people who write books, articles and more. It is thoroughly researched, comprehensive, extremely well organized and written, has fantastic resources and is full of great ideas.
The detail and accuracy of this book is amazing. For example, in the query letter section, good and bad examples are given to help you write the best query letter possible.
Topics include, but are not limited to: How much should I charge?, How to find (and Keep) the right agent, Script Agents, Book Publishers (the section is huge!), Playwriting and more.
This is an essential resource for any serious writer!

A Comprehensive Resource For All Writers June 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
PROS: One of the best resources for writers. It's well organized and shows the who's who of the publishing world.
CONS: It would help if there were more guidance on writing book proposals and query letters. The advice is there and it is helpful, but I would like more. However, I didn't feel it was the job of this book to get into that (there are other books that tackle that issue), so I'm still giving the book 5 stars.
CONCLUSION: If you want to write for magazines or you want to publish a good, this resource covers all your bases.
