This little book has so much valuable information packed into its 250 odd pages, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. Whether you want to sell regularly to magazines, newspapers or greetings card companies; or you want to make a little extra money from your hobby, this book has every contact you need. From tips on how to approach your chosen publications to a comprehensive listing of 36 major categories of publication, this manual has it all. All the magazines, newspapers, agencies are right here in this indispensable guide. Think about this: there are 8,000 magazines published in Britain alone each year. Each one needs new photos, every month, week or fortnight. There has never been a better time to be a freelance photographer than right now. I simply would not have known where to begin without this handbook.
Now in its 21st year of publication, this Official Handbook of the Bureau of Freelance Photographers is the best and only such guide you'll need.

I bought this 2009 edition book a few weeks ago after reading reviews.
Although I have only been using my Canon 400d slr for 6 months, I wanted to know how poor or good my pics were. I was interested in the freelance market. I have read through this book and it hasn't disappointed!
It tells you how to step into the freelance market place.
What specific companies are requiring and are in listed sections.
From art to wildlife required by the freelancer for magazines,newspapers etc; Email addys, pic and text requirements are included.
At the back of this informative book is a section on specialist companies involved in photographic equipment to providing insurance for the photographer. There is also a list of Agencies to promote your work/portfolio.
The book is essential for the person who wants to sell their pics to specific markets, and the amount of commission that could be earned.
This book is an excellent reference book and I am about to test the water with several of my pics to specialist companies. I may have many knock backs but it will be fun finding out.

If you are in anyway considering or already are making money from photography this is the book for you.
It contains information on a vast number of magazines, newspapers, books and even calender companies that will readily take your work. It gives you details on what each company is looking for in terms of subject matter, format, size of file (for digital) and the minimum volume of work required.
More importantly most companies give you a personal remark on the types of image they are looking for and in some cases those they re definately not. Where possible there is also a price guide for the use of images and a good , fair, limited rating for oppurtunity of free lance work being used.
The book also gives information on those companies willing to take freelance articles for the budding writers amongst you.
Apart from being a directory for photograpers the book also offers good sound advice on how to get into the industry, written by people in the industry.
The Freelance Photographers Market Handbook is updated yearly and is an absolute must for anyone using a camera to make money.
