- The Work At Home Freelancer's Must Have
Every year I grumble at the thought of shelling out for the latest copy of this, but every year, realising it's a must-have for my freelance writer's toolkit, I buy it.

I might start buying it every second year though, as I don't have time to read the pro articles and if I wanted to read these, there are plenty in the Sunday press and literary mags.

The 'writing short stories for radio' piece was useful though - however, less pleasing was the fact that these submissions take up to a year to even get read.

For a beginning writer determined to make a business or career out of writing, this book can be used as a textbook or course to study! Hard work though!

- Usefull... Probably yes, if you happend to be a writer....
I bought this book to help me making a mailing list for a forthcoming photography exhibition. I thought that from this book I could have found contact addresses for art curators, art critics etc... as it is named writers and artists yearbook.

Photography chapter in this book is really narrow and only concentrating to picture agencies and libraries, which is just a tiny sector of the whole field of photography and really far from the fine art photography. This chapter is too narrow for the book to be called: "a directory for photographers".

Art is in the same chapter with illustration and this chapter mainly concentrates getting illustration commission. This doesn't make much sense to me as I consider myself an Artist, ... Read More:

- The WAYB is always such a boast!
I love reading the latest WAYB. It's all the tips and notes from those successful in all the many fields of interest and work open to a writer that satisfies me the most. AGAIN, of course, the contributions are first class - informative, inspirational and an overall boast to self confidence and a heightened sense of belonging.

All things feel possible once you have, as Fay Weldon says of the WAYB, "...an entrance ticket to the world you long for".

You can now (using the password inside your WAYB copy) get free access to 1000s of searchable listings, more expert advice, book and writing news and competition entry via the new website.

There is true meat on this book's bones!

- Missing?
Like the other reviewer, it's difficult decide which year book to buy. This year I chose this one and was disappointed to spot that a well-known magazine wasn't listed.

How reliable is the rest of the content?

- Excellent guide - informative and comprehensive
There are two books on the market which are widely touted as 'must-haves' for any writer looking to get into publication. One is this book, the "Writers' and Artists' Yearbook" (W&AY), published by A&C Black. Its rival, "The Writer's Handbook" (TWH), is published by Macmillan. Both contain roughly the same extensive listings of publishers, agents, print media, producers etc - you only really need one of them. But which one?

In truth there's little to choose between them. At the time of writing this review, they are both being offered at the same price by Amazon. Much will come down to personal preference regarding the layout of the two books, and so if you can get the chance to compare them before you buy, all the better. However, to ... Read More:
