Today, I'm going to write about Market Books. It is probably a little more practical advice than you will ever want and you'll more than likely want to yawn, but none the less....
I have at least four MB's on my shelf at all times--The Writer's Market, Novel & Short Story Market Book, the Online Market Book, and the Christian Writer's Market Book. While the WM offers thousands of markets for writers to send their work to, you will find markets in these other books that WM can't fit on its pages.
The Novel & Short Story Market Book covers fiction and only fiction. If you are interested in novels and short stories and nothing else, this would be the book for you.
The Christian Market Book covers the Christian publishing markets. WM can't print every market so CMB takes up the slack and covers a different market area.
The Online Market covers places a writer can sell their work online. It list paying markets, fiction and non-fiction.
There are other market books available-The Poet's Market Book, Guide to Literary Agents, Children Book Writer's Market Book, and the Songwriter's Market Book.
Several of these books are available at the library and as they all carry a hefty price tag, you may want to look through them at your local library or bookstore before you purchase to decide which one is best for your needs.
I am now off to read through one of my market books. I'm on the search for markets for several of my current projects.
Til Next Time~
