Book Review

Here's another book review, though this is a very different kind of book. It is a resource and a guide.

I find it very helpful for Christian writers as it is easy to navigate and well planned. It has a great amount of detailed information for contacting publishers and their requirements.

Anyone who uses this will find the "How to use this book" section very helpful as my wife and I have. Whether you are looking to get an article published, an opinion piece, self-help guide, or a novel, this guide is well worth the price. I do recommend this for anyone wishing to get their written work out into the marketplace.

My wife just recently finished writing a christian novel and this book is very timely for her as she begins the process of finding a publisher for her work.

You can buy this guide at:
www.amazon.com


Here is a summary from the publisher of this guide:

For 24 years running, the Christian Writers’ Market Guide has remained the most comprehensive, complete, essential, and highly-recommended resource for beginning and veteran Christian writers, agents, editors, publishers, publicists, and those teaching writing classes.
This year’s Guide is even handier with a CD-Rom included that features the full text of the book for easy searches of topics, publishers, and markets, as well as 100 pages of exclusive content including indexes and writing resource listings. This is the resource you need to get noticed—and published.

Completely updated and revised to feature the latest on…
  • more than 1,200 markets for the written word
  • 416 book publishers (32 new)
  • 654 periodicals (52 new)
  • 96 literary agents
  • 100 new listings in Resources for Writers
  • 226 poetry markets
  • 316 photography markets
  • 25 African-American markets
  • and 166 contests (29 new)
