I know that many of you are are actively pursuing the goal of writing beyond your blog, with the desire and aim to be published. A resource recently appeared in my inbox that will be invaluable to you in your quest.


Billed as "The Essential Reference Tool for the Christian Writer", the Christian Writers' Market Guide 2009 is chock-full of information on a plethora of resources - Book Publishers, Periodicals, E-zines, Contests, Specialty Markets, Area Writers' Clubs, Writers' Helps, and more. A CD-ROM provides additional information and references, including Freelancing, Promotion, Web Page Development, and Tax Help, as well as a code to obtain updated information throughout the year from the author's website. It is truly mind-boggling the amount of information that is packed into this 500-page book.
