2009 Writer's Market Deluxe (Writer's Market Online)

I really bought this because it came with a year's subscription to the online Writer's Market which is invaluable. Together, they're a great value. Alone, it's the bible of writer's market information. Updated frequently with superb information.

Bought this book. Has a ton of great information. My only complaint is that due to the size it is harder to find certain sections easily, as with any large resource book. A couple of dividers throughout the book would be wonderful. Overall I would deff buy this again. Buying it in this version allowed me access to their website for a year also. Great buy.

I have been a widely published writer since 1982 and used WM every year. The 2009 edition is a joke and appropriate only if you are a writer in Canada or Australia. There new entries are mostly in those two countries and not practical for US writers. They have not been "honest" about their new entries.

The Writer's Market 2009 Deluxe Edition is vastly updated from the 2007 edition, which I had. There are at least 100 new Literary Agents catalogued in the text, which is what I was looking for. Also, the online resources may prove to be very useful.

After publishing over 20 books (Banned Plays: Censorship Histories of 125 Stage Dramas (Facts on File Library of World Literature),Critical Companion to Edgar Allan Poe: A Literary Reference to His Life and Work (Critical Companion to ...),Encyclopedia of Mistresses,Writing Clearly: A Self-Teaching Guide,Literature Suppressed on Social Grounds (Banned Books),How to Write Articles for Newspapers & Magazines, 2/e (Step By Step (Thomson Learning (Firm)).),Agatha Christie A to Z: The Essential Reference to Her Life & Writings (The Literary a to Z Series),Edgar Allan Poe A to Z: The Essential Reference to His Life and Work (Literary A to Z),Literature Suppressed on Sexual Grounds (Banned Books)) and numerous magazines articles, I still turn to the Writers' Market for new ideas and information on magazine markets. The Deluxe Edition online feature is excellent in saving me time and in providing up-to-the-minute name and policy changes -- well worth it.
