2004 Writer's Market is the #1 tool for writers who want to get published. It's easy to see why. Inside you'll find detailed listings for more than 8,000 editors who buy what you write. Each entry includes crucial information for making contact in the most efficient, effective way, including mailing addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses, plus information on what each editor wants, how much they pay, and how often they buy.
You'll find thousands of completely updated listings (plus 1,100+ brand new publishing opportunities!) for book publishers, consumer magazines, script buyers, trade and professional journals, plus more then 300 agents! No other reference provides such complete AND current information.
It's a lot of material, but don't be intimidated. More is better - and easy-to-reference symbols and indexes help you target the entries you want fast.
You'll also find an invaluable selection of articles and interviews feared toward helping you master the writing life, including: * How much should I charge? - 100% updated * Janet Fitch and other writers share how they make time to write * Nicholas Sparks discusses the importance of selling your self, not just your book * Nine habints of frequently published authors * New York Times best-selling author Debbie Macomber discusses how to know when you're ready for an agent
There's no better resource for writers serious about their work. If you're one of them, 2004 Writer's Market is the most important book you'll ever own.

If anything, the book gives all the contact information to reach these publishers that JAS-WEBB was referring to. Please don't let someone who has been obviously soured by the publishing process wreck your dreams or think it's a waste of time. Using this... more info
waste of energy:
Save your money. And your time. And the anguish. These agents and publishers will not read your work. They have no time. Don't believe me, they will tell you in their listing. They rarely accept new clients from cold submissions. Definition of rarely: 99.44% of cold submissions are rejected. If they say they accept 5% of cold submissions they are exaggerating. If they get a thousand submissions they MAY ask to read one manuscript. (I'm being generous.) They WILL read your work if it recommended by someone... more info
Outstanding Resource!:
