Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market '98

Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market '98 is the 1998 edition of Writer's Digest Books' annual industry directory, listing publishers, magazines, agents, contests, and multimedia markets for those creating children's content. Editor Alice P. Buening added 150 new entries and included articles on marketing and craft alongside interviews with publishing figures, making it more than a bare listings guide. For its era, it was the industry standard reference. The unavoidable caveat: as a market guide it is completely obsolete. The publishing landscape of 1998 bears little resemblance to today's. Its value now is historical — a snapshot of the children's publishing world before digital transformation. Worth It as a professional reference for its time; seek a current edition for practical submissions use.
