The 2006 edition of the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook is the bestselling guide to markets in all areas of the media. It has been completely revised, redesigned and updated, with a mass of new information, and practical advice. The superb listings are the most attractive feature of the book. These include newspapers and magazines, book publishers and literary agents, picture agencies and festivals. The Yearbook contains information impossible to find anywhere else. It holds more information and covers a wider market than its nearest competitor, and contains information for both writers and artists and illustrators.
