From Writer’s Market to REAL WRITER’S MARKET:
the miraculous rebirth of the Writer’s Digest books?

I was saddened to find out a few years ago that they discontinued the old writer’s market guides by Writer’s Digest Books. In fact, it seems the whole Writer’s Digest Books division went the way of the Do Do bird. I had every edition since 1978. Then I got all excited. I heard it was back! Not exactly.

Come read the whole inspiring story about how a few fellows from the IAG Institute decided they weren’t going to let books go to an early grave. Books are worth saving. Come see how REAL WRITER’S MARKET has picked up the baton.
