If you live in the British Isles and are serious about writing, you will already be familiar with the annual "Writers' and Artists' Yearbook" and "The Writer's Handbook". Both are essential purchases for amateur and professional writer alike. If, however, you wish to raise your horizons and search out potential markets in Canada and the USA, then "Writer's Market" is the title you require.

You will immediately be struck by the difference between this US tome and its British counterparts. The market information is much more extensive - much greater analysis is given to each market than you get from the British titles. Kathryn Brogan and Robert Lee Brewer provide some serious insights into what American editors and publishers are looking for, and are generous in the advice they offer to those of us who submit queries and manuscripts.

"Writer's Market" also contains a number of extremely interesting and informative articles and interviews, giving you further insight into the state of American markets.

Well laid out, the material is accessible and accurate, and the advice generally very well considered. I've been published in a number of US magazines and have found this an invaluable title to have on my bookshelf.
