The Most Trusted Guide to Getting Published
The 2013 Writer's Market details thousands of publishing
opportunities for writers, including listings for book publishers,
consumer and trade magazines, contests and awards, and literary
agents. These listings include contact and submission information to
help writers get their work published.
Look inside and you'll find page after page of all-new editorial
material devoted to the business of writing. It's the most information
we've ever jammed into one edition! You'll find advice on pitching
agents and editors, finding money for your writing in unexpected
places, and promoting your writing. Plus, you'll learn how to navigate
the social media landscape, negotiate contracts, and protect your
work. And as usual, this edition includes the ever popular "How
Much Should I Charge?" pay rate chart.
You also gain access to:
- Lists of professional writing
organizations
- Sample query letters
- A free digital
download of Writer's Yearbook featuring the 100 Best
Markets
Includes a self-publishing checklist, submission
tracker, family tree of the major book publishers, and helpful charts.
"Writer's Market can save you a lifetime of collecting,
sorting, and updating industry info, and it's jam-packed with the
things you need, including hard-earned advice from those in the field.
As a result, Writer's Market gives you time--that most precious
commodity for all writers--so you can turn your attention to the
cultivation of your talent." --Julianna Baggott, author of
Pure, Girl Talk and The Prince of Fenway Park
