4.0 out of 5 stars
Only in the UK,
By A Customer
This review is from: Writers' & Artists' Yearbook 2001 (Writers' and Artists' Yearbook) (Paperback)
This looks like it would be a very useful book -- if you live and work in England, Ireland, or elsewhere in the United Kingdom. It specifically does NOT include information pertinent to the United States.For the UK and Ireland, it lists newspapers and magazines, book publishers and packagers, TV/film/radio resources, publishers of poetry and plays, literary agents, societies, prizes and festivals. It also has chapters on writers and the Internet, copyright and libel, finance for writers and artists, art and illustration, and photo and picture research. It is a practical and well-organized guide. But ONLY for the UK.

British Market (Mentor at www.AuthorsSociety.org),

This review is from: Writers' & Artists' Yearbook 2001 (Writers' and Artists' Yearbook) (Paperback)
This desktop reference contains hundreds of pages of information that writers and artists need for their professional work. The hints and tips are useful especially for newcomers or beginners.Although the book provides details of U.S. agents and publishers, it doesn't cover other U.S. information that would have been useful, for example, literature festivals, prizes, etc. UK information is covered reasonably well. Recommended for artists and writers interested primarily in the British market.

Writers and Artists Yearbook,
By Barbara O'Sullivan (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Writers' & Artists' Yearbook 2001 (Writers' and Artists' Yearbook) (Paperback)
I found the book invaluable. A friend of mine bought it for me for my birthday. I moved to Canada. Trying to negotiate the international book publishing market from Canada has been very difficult. When I was in England I just looked up the publishing agents or literary agents and off I went... into the post with my manuscript, but here, I find that things are so tricky over the internet and you can't look up information fast enough to get started. It can take all day and still you don't know if you have connected with a good agent. Writers and Artists Yearbook is a gold star in my book and always will be. I need my Writers and Artists Yearbook - but I left it in England. I miss it so much and need a new one. Please send me one to Canada soon...Barbara
