This book is a God-send for neophyte photographers
I've just completed my first pass through the book, and intend to go through it again and again to soak up all the valuable information I've found during my first pass. I am a landscape photographer who wishes to sell copies of my photos. Ms. Bostic offers a great deal of information regarding this market, and how to approach it. I recommend it highly for any photographer who is serious about building a business around his/her talent.

You Get Out of It What You Put into It
I have used the Writer's Market, the Artist's Market, and now, the Photographer's Market books in the past and present. There are lots of good tips in the book for people who are just starting out. I've been freelancing since the 1980s, so, I am not new at this, but, there is always something new to learn. These books are great time-savers. They give you the information you'll need to get your foot in the door.You want to pay close attention to what each agent, publisher, or other representative wants. Follow those guidelines to the letter and you CAN get results.Don't shotgun submissions to publishers or publications. Pick your potentials from the fields that various publishers say they accept. You want to use these books to identify those publishers that work within your niche. If you don't have a niche, trust me, you need one. Figure out what your particular area of interest is and specialize in that until you are just too good to ignore. Then, follow that niche to the publishers that would give you an opportunity.By the way, don't get discouraged. I am an award-winning photographer and I still have to go through this same process. That's the way the game is played. Good Luck.

Great book
This book is a great reference for finding places to submit your photographs to sell. I was surprised to see how many listing were in this book. I have never seen this many listings in a single place before. Definitely worth the money, you should be able to get your money back on your first submission.

While the intention of this book is good its usefulness is only fair
Non of the specific companies that I wanted to submit photos to were in this volume. I suppose it is not the fault of the compilers; they can only use what they have and if companies don't respond to their request for information then they've done what they can. But, every magazine and calendar publisher I looked up was conspicuously missing. While the intention of this book is good its usefulness is only fair.

2014 Photographer's Market
The Photographer's Market is the serious "photographer's bible" with an excellent source of information for anyone wanting to sell photos. Not only does it contain much-needed information for professional photographers but it is helpful for beginning photographers as well.
