"This may seem nitpicky, and it is possible that the company changed their model after being listed since after all some companies no longer publish the genres the guide says they do, and some now require agents where their listings say they don't BUT it could also be a sign the the quality control is slipping in terms of vetting the publishers included."
"The amount of information and advice make Writer's Market well worth the cost of purchase."
"The annual Writer's Market guide is probably the most comprehensive source for freelance markets, including magazines, book publishing and online markets."
"Because of my Writer's Market I've made the journey from a "writing for free" freelance to a writer who actually gets paid now and then."
