What FLX Says

Is Writer's Market Worth Buying? Maybe, Maybe Not

Is Writer's Market in print or online worth the $30 or so that it costs?

"I really lucked out last issue (Op-Eds). Had just written a hard-to-place essay. The market info for the op-eds was so detailed and helpful that i knew at a glance which newspaper might be a good bet. Sent it that day and sold it. Broke into a new market I've been hoping for, too.
(Chicago Tribune)."- Pat Olsen

"I joined FLX this week, and I'm so happy to have found it. It feels like I've been searching for something that should be really easy to find, only I'm in a dark closet, bumping into stuff. Suddenly, I come here and eureka! I just found the pull-chain."-Toni Klym McLellan

"Once again, FLX came through (and in record time). I found (and interviewed) a source this afternoon. Thanks to everyone who offered to help!" -Jodi Helmer
