The fiction writer's ultimate resource is celebrating its 25th year in print. The writing opportunities within the 500+ pages cover everything from contests to book publishers.

The complete market list includes:

* Small Circulation Magazines
* Online Markets
* Consumer Magazines
* Book Publishers
* Contests and Awards
* Conferences and Workshops

One of the most informative sections of the book is "The Business of Fiction Writing." These nine pages show you exactly how to approach the various markets and offer sample cover letters and queries.

You also get writing help from authors like Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Ford, interviews with authors like Big Fish's Daniel Wallace and specific tips for romance, mystery and science fiction writers.

What makes this annual guide a must year after year are the hundreds of pages of listings. Contact info, market needs, submission terms, pay rates and so much more valuable information are updated every year. You could spend an entire year trying to locate a fraction of these potential homes for your work on your own or you can get the current year's guide and focus on your writing.

...you need this annual guide to markets. More than just a "phone book" of publisher's addresses, Writer's Market does the yearly job of giving the lay of the land to beginners and seasoned writers alike.

You'll enjoy articles on the art and craft of fiction writing, and find plenty of "insider tips" from authors, agents, and editors.

Get your copy, study it, and start selling your work.

No fiction writer can afford to be without this book. I have used it for years and have placed much work because of it. Buy it now!

This book is such a wonderful tool for a writer with dreams of publication. You feel very comfortable with the editor as she grabs you right from the start with a candid and honest approach. It is extremely user friendly and well written. It is everything it promises to be and I intend to purchase future volumes.

I found this book to be just what I needed for agent info/for submission info. And the interviews with writers/publishers were really informative. It's a road map book for writers & there's nothing like having a map to follow!

If you are a writer, you should definetely get this book. It shows you everything. Where the publishers are, what consumer magazines want your stories, where the literary agents are, and even some helpful words from accomplished author's. This is a definite MUST READ and MUST BUY if you are a writer who deosn't wanna sit on your butt all day but want to get your stories out there.

This book is invaluable to me as a writer; the many well-researched markets open up doors for me to send my writings; I've never found anything not to be true in this handbook. I'd urge all writers and would-be writers to purchase this valuable guide.
