2002 Novel & Short Story Writers Market (Novel and Short Sto:

An excellent tool for locating possible markets for your short stories, plus many extra helps such as how to write a cover letter, or query, how to present your manuscript, etc.
This book will not replace formal instruction, or hands on help from someone who knows the business, but if you are looking to break into print, you've already taken pains to learn the craft, and just don't know where to go next, this is a must have addition to your writer's "tool box".

It tells it like it is:

As a source book for the short story writer, this one is hard to beat. The advice, given by numerous authors, editors, publishers, etc. may be of value in encouraging the beginning writer, but doesn't mean much for those of us who have already suffered through the initial stages of the process.

A Great Resource:

Novel and Short Story Writer's Market is an excellent resource for writers looking to expand their sales. Not only does it contain hundreds of markets, it also provides suggestions and writings from contemporary authors. It is a handy book for the new and experienced writers.
