5.0 out of 5 stars A little correction, March 25, 2004

By	Anne Bowling (Cincinnati, Ohio) - See all my reviews

As the editor of this book, I think I have to make a slight correction to the comments of littleredheadsmom. She recommends Writer's Market Online, and while it is an extremely authoritative and comprehensive resource, if you're only writing fiction, Novel & Short Story Writer's Market makes more sense for your use. With NSSWM you'll get ONLY fiction markets, and not pay your money for listings you can't use--trade journals for nursing and farming, for example. Just a heads up.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for the Fiction Writer, January 22, 2004

By	FictionAddiction.NET - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Fiction writers who don't have the newest edition of Novel and Short Writer's Market are missing out on the latest industry needs, submission guidelines and in-depth guidance on the writing craft. This year, there are over 600 magazine markets and more than 500 book publishers packed in between the covers.

But writers have also come to rely on the in-depth articles. From Walter Mosley to Alice Sebold, authors share their expertise on subjects like getting on the bestseller list and connecting through words. Experts also share their insight on graphic novels, strengthening your manuscript and even the daily discipline of sitting in your chair to write.

Special sections in addition to the marketing listings include:

* Personal Views
* Craft & Technique
* Getting Published
* For Mystery Writers
* For Romance Writers
* For Science Fiction/Fantasy & Horror Writers

When you've finished reading the articles, find a market for your writing whether you're looking for online publications, literary magazines, consumer magazines or book publishers. You'll also find extensive listings of writing contests and conferences for the year.

Novel & Short Story Writer's Market is the best investment you can make in your writing career. If you're a fiction writer who wants to see your work in print, you need a copy of the current year's guide in your personal library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Consider Writer's Digest Online, December 28, 2003

By	S. Caldwell "blueviento" (Hood River, OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you have easy access to the internet (which is a good possibility since you're here now) I would suggest you consider either the writer's market online edition, or simply go to the website and register. I enjoy the paper edition for thumbing through for ideas and for the special articles. I really appreciate the online version for all the extra features that are available to help keep me organized. If you're serious about getting published, the submission tracker is a exactly what you need.
