Writers want to write. They don't want to spend time searching for market opportunities, collecting rejection slips and submitting to publishers, agents and editors who aren't interested in their work.

That's where the 2007 Writer's Market eliminates the hassles behind the business of writing. All the hard work of finding those publishing outlets - from magazines to book publishers, contests to small presses - has been done for you. Each market listing contains complete contact information, current market needs and pay rates. Some publishers even offer tips on how to get your work noticed and published by their house.

It doesn't matter if you've published dozens of books or you're just starting out with an idea for your first article, the listings show you everything you need to know before you submit your work. And there's even help to get you published packed in the in-depth articles also in the guide.

Answers to the burning questions like what's the trick to getting published, should you copyright your work, is self-publishing a good option, when you need an agent and so many more are covered. Plus, detailed help with query letters for both fiction and nonfiction writers gives you complete visuals on what works and what doesn't so you can construct a query letter that sells your writing.

There's even a great word count guidelines section on how to determine what type of work you're submitting. For freelancers, the "How Much Should I Charge?" section is a must for its per hour, per project and other rate advice.
