Not only does the 2002 Writer's Market Online provide
a thorough listing of the paying markets for writers,
this version also includes a subscription to writersmarket.com,
the online edition of the directory. The
combination works well, because the online
edition helps keep writers up to date with
news markets, ceased publications and
changes in editor and publisher staff
positions. The online edition includes databases
of freelance markets, agents, book
publishers, contests, awards,
and screenplay markets.
The online service also provides a
Market Watch feature which includes
writing-related news, ask the agent,
an online encyclopedia and an online
submissions tracker. The website also
allows you to view changes to the database,
which is an excellent feature. The site is
very user friendly and simple to use.
The book itself includes all the goodies that you
would expect: how-to articles,
interviews with editors and experts and
the popular market sections which include
listings for book publishers, magazines,
greeting-card publishers, script buyers and
other market opportunities for writers.
Writers who are looking for a way to discover and follow markets, as well as track their submissions will find plenty of value here. By including both a comprehensive book and an online service featuring market updates and agent and market databases, the 2002 Writer's Market Online is the best combination of print and online market resources money can buy. The Writer's Market Online is a necessity for any writer.
