•consumer magazines

•trade, business, and professional publications
•daily newspapers

As a Canadian writer, it is sometimes difficult to find information about Canadian writing resources. If you go on the Internet, there are plenty of sites and listings for American writers. There are also some really good writers' market directories available, containing primarily American content. These ample resources make it seem like the United States is the only market for writers. So much so that I think we often forget that we have some really great opportunities right here in Canada.

Thankfully, I picked up a copy of The Canadian Writer's Market. For easy use, this book is set up similar to Writer's Markets and Christian Writers' Market Guide with subdivisions for genres, trade publications, book publishers as well as extra resources about writing groups, agents, and competitions. In addition to these expected aspects, The Canadian Writer's Market also includes sections about scholarly and literary markets, daily newspapers, and support programs for writers. The Canadian Writer's Market is a must have for every Canadian writer.
