About the Book: For any writer interested in publishing
professional pieces in magazines or connecting with publishers for their
books, The American Directory of Writer’s Guidelines is a helpful
reference. It provides information on the subject area focus and
preferences of 1,600 writing outlets. Especially good for the new writer,
it is a reference that could save you time and help you target the right
editor for your submission. It is worth keeping in your writing library.

The book has its flaws. The indexing in the back of the book could be
stronger, especially when referencing sub-imprints of larger publishing
houses. Some guidelines are simply not edited; they read like a
disjointed email because of the way they have been printed on the page.
Not all references include a link to the relevant web site when one could
have easily been obtained. Despite its weaknesses, this book of writer’s
guidelines is good to have on hand. |
