    I just got this recently and must admit it has many publications not listed in the Writer's Market listings. I have found a few in the list that don't accept outside writing (hence, sort of pointless) but overall it seems to be worth the $39., at least as a time saver.

    Also, maybe I should mention being a little surprised after I downloaded this list, as I mistakenly thought it would have the clean appearance of the sample listings online. This is probably my error, as I usually do all my own research and am not familiar with the formats of lists. Still, times are lean and time is valuable, so as a reference tool (saved in Word, as they ask to be done), it seems worthwhile. I do wish for the fee they charge that they'd have it available online, like the Writer's Market listings, which I adore. Anyway, just impressions. Hope this helps :)

    Thanks for your take on this Rabbit! I love feedback and I hope more people comment. I'd have to double check, but they might have a cd or database version that's considerably more expensive. Can you tell me if they still include the editorial calendar with it? The monthly part that lists which publications are excepting stories for which countries. Thanks! Jen

    I'm so slow responding to this - sorry :( As far as I can see, there isn't an editorial calendar included with this list. It's simply publication names/contacts/misc. info. - List of mags, followed by list of newspapers. Feel free to email me about it, if you'd like :) (Extra note: Will the Boots Boys be able to have a feature that notifies by email when a comment is posted to a comment? On the new website you mention in the more recent entry? This would make it much easier to have back and forth exchanges of ideas :)
