The world of Christian publishing--book and magazine--is constantly in motion. Sally E. Stuart is the marketing guru who tracks these changes and captures them for the writing community. This book marks the 25th anniversary edition of CHRISTIAN WRITERS' MARKET GUIDE.

According to Sally about 90% of every entry includes a change--a different editor, a different phone number or address or email or information about how to submit. Don't use an old guidebook because the entries are wrong. Get the current guide. It's a necessity for your writing in the Christian market.

If you write for the Christian market, or if you'd like to --- this book is a must-have. Invest in the book, then invest 30 minutes a day to read the entries, scanning for markets that fit your message.

With so much consolidation and transition in publishing, the author estimates that about 90 percent of the entries have been adjusted, updated or completely changed since the 2009 edition. So if you're clinging to your 2006 book, thinking "It's still mostly right" --- you haven't been paying attention.

Buy this book today and begin contacting editors whose markets fit your passion and your expertise. The more queries you write, the more likely it is that you'll see your name in print during 2010 and beyond...

Sally Stuart has done all the work for writers. You can find anything by topic, publishers, or genre aa well as lots of other things, like contests... This is an excellent resource so you don't make the mistake of sending a short story to an academic publisher and vice versa.

Sure you can browse the internet and spend hours on publishing websites and keep a notebook of your virtual journey but isn't there a better way to procrastinate?!

Thank you, Sally, for my new address book for writer's world - you are the best!

I've been using Sally Stuart's Christian Writers' Market Guide since I became interested in freelance writing. No freelancer should be without it. It's important to get the updated Guide every year because the writing world is constantly changing. Magazines are going out of business, and new agents and book publishers come on the scene. As I said, this book is indispensable to the freelance writer.

The guide is filled with information that any new author must have - and would never know how to find. It is an incredible resource to find publishing companies, literary agents and to understand where and how you can submit your writing ideas for books and magazines. Excellent!

I've been writing query letters for three years now. I thought I could do it on my own. I could not have been more wrong. This book tells you everything you need to know in one place. It shows you who wants to look at the type of material you write and who doesn't. It helps you stop waste time and resources.

I've not gotten an acceptance yet, but I now have the right tools to get one!

This book is a great resource for me. I look forward to using it regularly...contains great info and I'm happy to have my OWN copy.

In these days of closing bookstores and tightly controlled markets, Sally Stuart continues to provide a font of information to struggling writers. The guide is easy to read and gives all the information one needs to make an informed decision where to submit.

There is LOTS of useful information about 'next steps' if you are interested in a) WRITING a Christian book, then b) GETTING the book PUBLISHED. If that sounds like you, this book is a 'must have'.

If you're "writing so heaven will be different," (Lee Roddy's quote) you need this book. You need to know the markets available to Christian writers.
