Excerpt from Where and How to Sell Manuscripts: A Directory for Writers

No such list can be absolutely complete, in the sense of including every shy and disappearing wanderer in this field; nor can such a directory be in every particular correct, because new publications are being born constantly and others are suspending. Under ordinary conditions, the periodical world exhibits a constant state of flux, and it is just now especially changeable. The aim has been to ensure a consistent accuracy. Writers who have information regarding mar kets which Should or Should not be listed herein are earnestly re quested to send such items to the editor for use in revisions of this volume, which will take place from time to time. Current market news is published each month in The Writer's Monthly.* Some magazines use a greater diversity of material, and much more material, than others. Concerning these magazines we have attempted to give the fullest information. Every endeavor has been made to ascertain precise needs, but it is always wise for the writer to procure copies of the publication when shaping manuscript for some particular field. A sample copy of the magazine may usually be had on receipt of the current price of a copy, as given herein.

For greater convenience of reference the magazines and other mar kets are arranged in groups. Special information relative to each group is given under the separate headings; and the viewpoint or slant of periodicals (a matter of the greatest importance to an author) is indicated wherever possible. In the case of one company publish ing a number of magazines, the writer will desire to know whether manuscripts submitted for one of the string will be read for all, or whether each' magazine should be separately addressed. A general rule cannot be formulated; but information of this kind will be found in both places, under the firm name and under their periodicals.
