About Me

Writer's Market is the ultimate directory for writers trying to get published and paid for their work. The book lists thousands of book publishers, consumer magazines, trade journals, contests & awards, and more.
WritersMarket.com is the online version of Writer's Market and lists more than 6,000 publishing opportunities, including online exclusive sections, such as screenwriting, playwriting, newspapers, and more.
WritersMarket.com is also updated daily and has useful tools for selling your work and staying organized, such as the Submission Tracker (a record keeping tool) and Favorites Folders (to organize markets in the ways that make the most sense to you).
WritersMarket.com provides helpful information in the form of author interviews and how-to tips in the Expert Advice section. Plus, Agent Q&A answers common publishing questions by a rotating line up of professional literary agents.
