Product Description

For 24 years running, the Christian Writers’ Market Guide has remained the most comprehensive, complete, essential, and highly-recommended resource for Christian writers, agents, editors, publishers, publicists, and those teaching writing classes. And it’s the tool for both for beginners and industry veterans.
This perennial guide contains a variety of indexes–listed by topic, alphabetical listing of publishing houses and agents, and more–to more than 1,200 markets. Those markets include greeting cards and specialty writing, e-book and traditional book publishing (32 new listings), and periodicals (52 new). Also listed are 96 literary agents, more than 100 new writing resource listings, and 166 contests (29 new).

As with the guide for the last couple years, a CD-Rom is included and contains the text of the book for simple, electronic searches. But the 2009 Guide is handier–a more reder-friendly page count with 100 pages or so of traditional content (like indexes and contest listings) now exclusively on the CD-Rom.

Readers will get the same trusted content, though, as in years past. In fact, the latest information on more than 100 editors and publishers, conferences, writers’ groups, and more are not only listed and indexed in the book, but this year, readers will get a code in the book and on the CD-Rom for accessing more updates through the year on author Sally Stuart’s web site, www.stuartmarket.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Reference Guide for the Christian Writer, February 5, 2009
By J. Arduini (Youngstown, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The cover of the Christian Writers' Market Guide 2009 has this written: The Essential (in bold) reference tool for the Christian writer.

This is no exaggeration. Any writer serious about breaking into and staying in the industry needs this on their desk. Sally Stuart creates every possible piece of information one would need to publish.

I read a lot of agent and publisher blogs and their major complaint is writers send in material not appropriate for the place they are sending. These writers must not have the Christian Writers' Market Guide. The book covers what each place is about, their guidelines, if you need an agent for the place, everything.

In addition, new this year includes a CD Rom as a handy guide that has contacts for 1,000 markets.

It's obvious Sally not only did her homework, she did yours and mine. She also writes about what trends she sees and other valuable informtion.

This is a goldmine that you'd be foolish not to pursue.

I also encourage you to subscribe to Sally Stuart's blog feed as she is constantly updating informtion.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as other Writers' Market, February 27, 2009
By Lauren M. Evans (La Verne, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having used the Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market and the regular Writers' Market before, I found this incarnation disappointing. It is simply a straightforward listing of book and periodical publishers. It includes none of the extras that I found so helpful in the other Writers' Markets. There are no interviews with publishers, no tips on writing query letters... in other words, for being one of the most expensive books in the Writers' Market series, it is the least helpful.

Be warned as well that a large number of periodical publishers mentioned in here are non-paying. This can be good for those just breaking into the market and need to build a clip portfolio, but it can also be frustrating to those of us who depend on paid articles to make our rent.

Beyond that, the actual information about publishers and their guidelines is quite detailed. It was easy to read through the listing and figure out which periodicals I'd be fit to query to and which I certainly would not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Christian Writers' Market Guide 2009, March 29, 2009
The book is very helpful with a lot of information. I was surprised at all the typo errors in it though. You'd think that being a book about getting published that it would be a good example of published work. Suggestion for next year = hire and editor!
