 Rating: - The Work At Home Freelancer's Must HaveEvery year I grumble at the thought of shelling out for the latest copy of this, but every year, realising it's a must-have for my freelance writer's toolkit, I buy it. I might start buying it every second year though, as I don't have time to read the pro articles and if I wanted to read these, there are plenty in the Sunday press and literary mags.

Rating: - Excellent guide - informative and comprehensiveThere are two books on the market which are widely touted as 'must-haves' for any writer looking to get into publication. One is this book, the "Writers' and Artists' Yearbook" (W&AY), published by A&C Black. Its rival, "The Writer's Handbook" (TWH), is published by Macmillan. Both contain roughly the same extensive listings of publishers, agents, print media, producers etc - you only really need one of them. But which one? In truth there's little to choose between them.
