The Best of the Magazine Markets

We want you to have your best possible shot at getting published this year, so we’ve taken special pains with our new directory. If you want to see your work in print in 2007, the odds are extremely high that The Best of the Magazine Markets for Writers has the magazines and editors most likely to buy what you write.

It has all the updated, accurate information you need to make a sale.

Some directories merely recycle old marketing news. Nothing is more disheartening than to waste time, energy, and money on sending out a manuscript only to draw a blank-not because your work is rejected, but because the magazine no longer exists . . . or the editor has moved on . . . or the magazine’s publishing interests have changed.

Imagine the disappointment of missing out on a brand-new magazine that may be a perfect fit for what you write.

Due to rapid changes in the magazine market, last year’s edition may be 60% out of date.

In the 2007 Best you’ll find the usefully complete and dependably updated information you need to break into print this year.

The Best of the Magazine Markets for Writers 2007 provides more than 1,700 of the top freelance buying markets in North America, with the latest information about their editorial wants and needs, and their submission requirements for 2007. 720 pages.

The 1,730 magazines that have survived our winnowing for 2007 are the best of the best in terms of their openness to new writers and their payments to freelancers.
