This little book has so much valuable information packed into its 250 odd pages, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. Whether you want to sell regularly to magazines, newspapers or greetings card companies; or you want to make a little extra money from your hobby, this book has every contact you need. From tips on how to approach your chosen publications to a comprehensive listing of 36 major categories of publication, this manual has it all. All the magazines, newspapers, agencies are right here in this indispensable guide. Think about this: there are 8,000 magazines published in Britain alone each year. Each one needs new photos, every month, week or fortnight. There has never been a better time to be a freelance photographer than right now. I simply would not have known where to begin without this handbook.
Now in its 21st year of publication, this Official Handbook of the Bureau of Freelance Photographers is the best and only such guide you'll need.

Spend money to make money
If you are in anyway considering or already are making money from photography this is the book for you.

It contains information on a vast number of magazines, newspapers, books and even calender companies that will readily take your work. It gives you details on what each company is looking for in terms of subject matter, format, size of file (for digital) and the minimum volume of work required.

More importantly most companies give you a personal remark on the types of image they are looking for and in some cases those they re definately not. Where possible there is also a price guide for the use of images and a good , fair, limited rating for oppurtunity of free lance work being used.

The book also gives information on those companies willing to take freelance articles for the budding writers amongst you.

Apart from being a directory for photograpers the book also offers good sound advice on how to get into the industry, written by people in the industry.

The Freelance Photographers Market Handbook is updated yearly and is an absolute must for anyone using a camera to make money.

Extremely helpful
This is an excellent guide. As well as listing the various options available in a logical fashion (Magazines seperated by type, seperate section for newspapers etc) there are also plenty of tips on how to approach different markets.

The information offered is very useful and can be reviewed quickly and easily thanks to the way the book is laid out.

Very useful for amateurs looking to make a few quid or for professionals looking for a freelancers yellow pages!
