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 (VINE VOICE)

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Inevitably information in a directory like this goes out of date, but it is a useful first point for further research.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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fell apart first time I used it!, 26 Nov 2008

By	J. Graham "book addict" (leeds UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Writer's Market UK 2009 (Paperback)

Having usually bought either W & A or The Writers' Yeabook, I decided to give this a go. The first time I read it a chunk of pages came loose, others followed so I have now had to separate the sections and hole punch and fasten them together. Not a bad idea really, as the book itself is too large to carry around so this way I can just take out the relevant sections. As for the information in the book, I think there is a lot of useful stuff but a lot of other that is irrelevant. The advice is no different than can be obtained from writing magazines or websites. There are a lot of different markets listed that are not in the other references, but there are also some of the better known publications that are not even listed. Think I will stick to my usual ref books in future and give this a miss next time I need to update.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Kid on the Block, 3 Aug 2008

By	West Wing and Chocolate (London, UK) - See all my reviews

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.
