Summary:

So you've finished your magnum opus. Or perhaps that MFA is completed
and you're ready to unveil your fabulous array of short stories. In
any case, to achieve publication, you've got to know where to send
your work, how to send it, and, most important, who's buying. For
fiction of any length, the 2001 Novel and Short Story Writer's Market
is a useful guidebook through the maze of publishers, markets, and
agents. Every year brings us a slew of freshly researched Writer's
Guides; in the 2001 version, you'll find the latest contact names at
publishing giants, academic presses, and consumer magazines, along
with respected awards and contests, conferences, and micropresses.
The book lets you know which editors are seeking new work, which ones
use only agent-represented submissions or handle specific types of
work, and when to send the all-important SASE or crack the
international or online markets. Each entry includes up-to-date
contact information, in-depth details for submission of your work,
and often market-specific tips like "We look for strong characters,
vivid detail, and believable dialogue." Advice is geared for genres
like romance, mystery, screenwriting, and horror, and authors of
these special sections are either successfully published authors or
editors who've worked in the field for years. If the only thing
stopping you from being published is the final step of finding a
publisher, this is one book you can't live without. --Jill Lightner
