4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book Available For Christian Writers, December 22, 1998

Four stars? Yup... 4.5 to be exact. A useful book, helping Christian and secular writers who want to be published in the Christian market. There is no other book which can serve the same needs.

Readers will be familiar with Writer's Digest's various guides, but they lack the comprensive breadth into denominational publications. Stuart has some questionable entries, and could be better organized, but by far the book you need.

Hopefully, it'll be available on disk, with a searchable database.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY!, October 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Christian Writer's Market Guide: 1998 (Serial) (Paperback)

Sally's cross-referencing (topical, denominational, etc.) makes finding just the right publisher as easy as it can be. Of course, no market guide can take the place of actually contacting publishers for guidelines and themes lists, but 'The Christian Writers Market Guide' is a great spring board for the writer who seeks to be published. Sally also offers excellent advice on approaching markets and her user-friendly glossary makes technical terms a breeze. Secular writers market guides in comparison, offer only a fraction of leads into the Christian publishing field. If you want to be published in any form of Christian literature, from novels to greeting cards, 'The Christian Writers Market Guide' is an absolute necessity.
