You know we’re sneaking up on the end of the year when you can order next year’s Writer’s Market.
It’s that time again. If you’re serious about writing magazine articles, writing books, or any aspect of freelance writing, you owe it to yourself to buy the current Writer’s Market. While it doesn’t cover everything, it comes as close as possible. You’ll find markets plus valuable information on everything from query letters to pricing.

Write well and often,
Two newsletters:
Abundant Freelance Writing – a resource for freelance writers including 3x a week job postings.
Writing With Vision – for those who want to get a book written.
Are there any benefits of buying the book over subscribing to the online version? I’ve thus far used only the online version, because I like being able to know any current updates are included. Any advantage of owning the hard copy?
I’d recommend springing for the premium print edition that includes online membership. Personally, I find it easier to leaf through and find possibilities and then follow up using the online tools. Searching the site just doesn’t work as well for me. I also like being able to tab things with Post-Its and write notes in the margin. It’s a personal preference, but it’s hard to go wrong with the twofer.

? Hey I was just doing a search for some reviews for this for freelancewrite.about.com and found your entry…This has been out since July, though I noticed my local BN did a pyramid on it today… Maybe they are just swinging into promo season for all those writers Xmas presents!
Like Kristen I recommend the online version over the print. One, it’s updated (sort of; better) and easy to look through. Two think of all those trees. If you can get the same info online — why not.
Kristen,
Good point about the premium edition. If I didn’t already have an ongoing online membership, I’d consider it. I’m not really a post-it person, but I can see your point about the book being easier to search. I wish the online edition were more user-friendly, but I’ll probably just stick with it. I can’t imagine relying on the book for accurate information, so I’d probably waste a lot of extra time going to the online edition to double-check whether there were any updates since the book came out. :-)
The Paper version works best for me. I can throw it in my car or bag and it goes with me to appointments and when I find myself sitting with time on my hands, I am able to pull it out and read or research right there on the spot. No need for a computer or hook-up. I love it!
