Summary: THE BEST WRITING BOOK EVER CREATED!
Review: This book was extremely disappointing for short story writers, I cannot speak for novelists. Three out of four of my regular markets that I use were not listed, not even the Reader's Digest. I had to use my old 2001 Writer's Market to find the website and current editors names. I really do not recommend it.
