4.0 out of 5 stars An informative and helpful directory..., 25 Aug 2008
By S. P. Moses (Epsom, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Writer's Market UK 2009 (Paperback)
Writer's Market UK is an informative and helpful read. The majority of this book is made up of a directory of magazines, publishers, theatres, agencies, resources and competitions. The layout is attractive and the information exhaustive, but there are other more established handbooks offering similar information. Where Writer's Market UK scores is in the hundred plus pages of articles.

Sadly I found the tone of some of these articles rather depressing. Yes, I know the odds are stacked against me making a living from writing - but the purpose of buying a book like this is to learn how to success in this goal. I've not felt this negative tone in similar directories I've read.

There are positive and inspiring articles. The first is by Joanne Harris, in which we learn she doesn't plan her books. There seems to be a continuum of writers, from those that start at page one and go - and those who plan everything in detail. I'm still working out where I am on that line, so it was interesting to get the point of view of an author I admire.

Elizabeth Kay's article about writing for children was my favourite. Gallons Of Lemonade, And Steak And Kidney Pud was refreshingly written and contained many gems. She also shows she knows her market when she talks about children not being idiots, merely having smaller vocabularies and less experience.

Inevitably information in a directory like this goes out of date, but it is a useful first point for further research. Writer's Market UK is a helpful tool if you want to sell what you write.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better Books On The Market..., 2 Jul 2008
By The Spanish Amanda (Sunny Brentford) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Writer's Market UK 2009 (Paperback)
Not a terrible book by any means, but sadly riddled with inaccuracies. You get the impression that whoever compiled it did so with a dozen Office Angels temps and Google... not, say, by contacting each of the organisations listed and confirming details with them. If you're looking for an agent, for instance, it's a pain when websites aren't listed correctly, when the book tells you agents are accepting submissions (when they're not), etc., etc... and spelling/grammatical errors don't inspire confidence, either. There are better books on the market - and it's irking that I now have to go and buy one of them... Hey-ho.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Kid on the Block, 3 Aug 2008
This review is from: Writer's Market UK 2009 (Paperback)
I've used the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook for years but thought that I would try the Writer's Market this year and I have to say that I am a complete convert now. This is an incredible resource of information and I really enjoyed the articles, not only from well-known writers such as Simon Brett and Joanne Harris, but also from publishing insiders - the editor, publicist and sales director, for example. I also had the good fortune to hear the book's editor, Caroline Taggart, speak on this subject and found her insightful and helpful. This book is much more than a directory and I highly recommend it.
