3.0 out of 5 stars The book is great, online database not so much..., January 11, 2007

By	Jennifer (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

The Writer's Market book is, as always, very useful. It provides great information about each market, including customized tips for querying each publication. Each listing has information about how much each market pays for features, columns, and departments.

A subscription to the online database version of the book is included in the purchase. Access to the online resources is why the book costs more than just the plain old book. However, the online database is not terribly useful if you actually make a living as a writer. Payment information is missing from the listings. Although you can search for markets, the results do not tell you anything about how much each market pays. The market could be 5 cents a word, or $1 a word. Who knows? This is very unhelpful. I've gone back to using the hard-copy Writer's Market since I must know how much a market pays before I'll bother sending a query. I wish I hadn't forked out the extra money this year for access to the online database.

If you're new to Writer's Market, do yourself a favor and just buy the regular old Writer's Market, which is well worth the money. Don't waste your money with the online edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Writer's Market, January 9, 2007

By	Dora Cominguez "Dora Dominguez" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has great potential for readers to find major locations for sending articles to be published. The book is short on locations and publications in a very large industry--tourism. I would not recommend the book for travel writers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Basic information for fiction and non-fiction writers, May 16, 2007

By	Jane L. Wilson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found the Writer's Market 2007 Deluxe Edition by Robert Lee Brewer to be informative; however, I had already located another publication that led me to the sources that I sought for promoting MY book.
Nonetheless, the Writer's Market is now a part of my book publishing/marketing reference resources collection.
Also, regardless of which book/magazine used as a source of information, it is ultimately up to the individual(s) to do the "leg work," or delegate the efforts to someone/others, in their particular promotion efforts.
At any rate, I believe that the book is worth purchasing.
