Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Novel and Short Story Writer's Market, 1990
Robin Gee · 1990
32/100
👎 Skip It
A market directory from 1990 is simply a historical artifact — every contact, rate, and submission guideline in it is obsolete for any working writer today. It has no lasting instructional value and no narrative to carry it beyond its era. Skip it entirely unless you are researching the publishing industry of that specific moment.
