I ordered this book having heard good things about it. There are many valuable references contained in this book. However, if you are a fledgling author looking for legitimate publishers, BEWARE. I found no less than three so-called publishers that were not publishers at all, but are at best vanity publishers, at worst, scammers who scam authors out of their own money. One of these publishers I had personal experience with and know it to be a complete scam, and to the author's credit, she wrote back to me saying that publisher would be removed from future additions. However, I didn't bother to communicate the other two "publishers" I found to be highly suspicious and just did a quick search on a popular web search only to find that my suspicions were correct. It makes me wonder how many other mistakes and unresearched links/publishers etc. are included in the book. So I strongly advise if you are searching for a vanity publisher or regular publisher, research your choices first. Simply because they appear on the pages of this resource does not mean it is a legitimate organization.

However, I will say overall the resource is very useful. Just do your checking!

The Essential Guide February 11, 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A book that survives and thrives through 23 editions is a successful and valuable product. This is certainly true of Sally Stuart's "Christian Writers' Market Guide 2008."

As her sub-title suggests, this work is THE reference tool for the Christian writer. Such a claim is not the stuff of info-mercials; it is reality. As The Midwest Book Review extols: "An essential reference for anyone seeking to be published in the Christian community."

The 2008 Edition is completely updated and revised, now with even more markets for Christian writers, periodicals, publishers, e-book publishers, agents, and so much more. Stuart's tireless and meticulous research saves the aspiring and experienced Christian writer thousands of hours of personal research (time better spent writing and marketing).

If you want to keep abreast of trends and stay informed on contacts in the Christian publishing arena, then the "Christian Writers' Market Guide 2008" remains the best in the business. I purchase a new copy each year.

Reviewer: Dr. Bob Kellemen is the author of "Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spirtual Direction," "Soul Physicians: A Theology of Soul Care and Spiritual Direction" and "Spiritual Friends: A Methodology of Soul Care and Spiritual Direction."

Format:Paperback
Christian Writer's Market Guide 2008 by Sally Stuart is an amazing resource for Christian writers. With lists of agents, publishing houses, periodicals, writers' groups and conferences, this is a book that can and should change the life of any writer reading it. I found several magazines I intend to submit articles and reviews to, plus several agents who are willing to look at unpublished authors. The book is arranged in an easy to understand fashion with TONS of info packed on every page. A CD is included with the listings, so you can search through them on your computer as well. Stuart has provided a unique and vital help for any Christian writer either well established or just getting started. Don't pass this one up!
