Mystery Writer's Sourcebook: Where to Sell Your Manuscripts

by David H. Borcherding (Editor)

The mystery should be in the book or story - not how to create and sell it. To put everything where it must be - a tight story on paper and the manuscript on the right editor's desk - use Mystery Writer's Where to Sell Your Manuscripts. It's like having a team of mentors who help you hone your prose and sell it.
In this completely updated second edition, you'll find market reports on 120 book and magazine publishers, writing guidance, inside information on how to get a first-rate agent, publishing house profiles, a look at developing trends, reprints of terrific work, interviews with professionals, and additional information resources. Online services, organizations, workshops, contests, mystery bookstores - these listings are like a ring full of skeleton keys.

The second book I edited for WDB. Dunno why Don's name is listed as author; he was my assistant editor.
