Excellent source but be careful,
By A Customer
This review is from: 2002 Novel & Short Story Writers Market (Novel and Short Story Writer's Market) (Paperback)
As usual, the Writer's Market is the premier source for finding publishers. However, prospective authors should be aware that the #1 growing part of publishing is POD-- print on demand. Pretty much anyone can get a book in print these days. Selling it is another matter altogether. I've attended several writing conferences in the past year and met many frustrated 'authors' who had bound copies of their book, but couldn't get it in bookstores. I recommend learning more about the business of writing before jumping in with both feet. At the South Carolina Writers Conference I listened to an excellent presenter, Bob Mayer, who covered the business end in detail. I highly recommend his Fiction Writer's Toolkit for learning about publishing from a writer's perspective.

This review is from: 2002 Novel & Short Story Writers Market (Novel and Short Story Writer's Market) (Paperback)
An excellent tool for locating possible markets for your short stories, plus many extra helps such as how to write a cover letter, or query, how to present your manuscript, etc. This book will not replace formal instruction, or hands on help from someone who knows the business, but if you are looking to break into print, you've already taken pains to learn the craft, and just don't know where to go next, this is a must have addition to your writer's "tool box".

By "sde10" (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2002 Novel & Short Story Writers Market (Novel and Short Story Writer's Market) (Paperback)
This book has an extensive listing of magazines (general, specialized, and little), book publishers and agents. As a comprehensive listing of where to send your writing and what the markets are looking for, it is unparalled and for novice writers indespensible. Much of the rest of the content is just filler with a lot of personal stories about publishing or basic tips about writing and revising. I wish it had more about the 'business' of writing: how to format manuscripts, how to write cover letters, how to approach markets. For self-taught writers, I think this is more important than five page lessons on how to write. We'll have to make it on our own with our writing but we have no one to pass on the little 'do's and 'don't's of publishing.
