The 2009-2010 edition of The Australian Writer's Marketplace has arrived!

Publishers, agents, competitions, organisations, magazines - every contact you will ever need to succeed in the writing business.

The brand new edition lists more than 240 literary competitions, and more than 2,000 publication opportunities and industry contacts. It also has a new index which summarises markets for a range of genres, making it easier than ever before to find the market that is right for you.

“Why was there nothing like this around during that decade when I slogged away at the writing, but didn't know who to call? If I was starting out now, it's the first thing I'd buy.” Nick Earls, best-selling author of Zig Zag Street, 48 Shades and Monica Bloom.

For those taking the DIY approach to getting published, The Australian Writer’s Marketplace lists all the contacts writers need – printers, distributors, illustrators, editors and even marketing professionals – to get their book from first draft to finished product.

Tara Moss, Australia’s #1 crime writer (Fetish, Covet)and Tara Moss Investigates presenter says:

“There is a writer's marketplace in Australia waiting for your talents. Whether a journalist, novelist or poet, The Australian Writer's Marketplace will show you where to find your next publisher.”
