Hundreds of markets for beginning writers to submit their mss. to. Needs to be on your shelf along with other reference books.

I have never used a directory that is as thorough, up-to-date and as easy to use as this one is. It has never let me down. The indexes are especially helpful and the categories are most useful. In my opinion, there is not any guide for writers that is better. I believe that it is the most complete and vast array of (as its title says)literary magazines and small presses available. It provides no only the basic information (name, address, etc.) but also information regarding specific requirements for submissions, including any that are unique to each publisher. The Regional and Subject Indexes are very helpful, saving a lot of search time. If you are interested in publishing in small presses, this resource is a must have.

A useful refrence book for the writer, The International Directory of Little Magazines and Small Presses contains information on hundreds and hundreds of small press markets, such as 'zines. Not specific to the poet or fiction writer, the Directory provides information on publishers of all sorts of writing, both literary and nonfiction. This is probably the definitive refrence guide to the small press publications. You'll find publications in here that you won't find in the Writer's Market or Poet's Market.

This is a good resource for poets on the various journals that accept submissions. However, I feel Poets Market is somewhat easier to navigate and a bit more concise.

Overall this book is a B. Buy it for the resources and you will need it for sending your poems in for consideration of being published.
