Whether youre a seasoned pro or someone whos right out of school. you can always find useful info. Ive personally gotten many good (and some great!) paying assignments through it. The price is fairly steep in the bookstore so is really your best bet.The only cons Id say are the fact that some of the listings dont get updated like they should. and some dont have useful contact info. Also. Id avoid the agenda driven activist publications listed because they try to get away with paying people "in copies" - a ripoff.Having said that. there are over a thousand real. useful listings in a wide variety of categories. Theres also plenty of good info you can use to get yourself educated in a particular field of art.I highly recommended it. Good luck!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Helpful guideBy WynneI needed to know the markets where my cartoons would be accepted. The guide helps me pinpoint where I can possibly get published and gives me encouragement. It is a wonderful resource.
