question for WB students based in India

Pamela S - August 12, 2010 writes:

Does anyone have any tips to share on how to identify possible writing markets in India? I am in the Comprehensive Creative Writing course and while my assignments are progressing well, I am having trouble with researching and shortlisting appropriate markets. Thanks! - Pamela

Dear Pamela, have a look to see if India has the equivalent of The Writers' and Artists' yearbook. You should also visit as many shops selling book and magazines as your can and have a look for the names, addresses and websites of the parent publisher you may find lost more information this way. I hope this helps.

Hi Pamela, To the best of my knowledge, India has not yet come up with an analogue of the writers and artists yearbook yet-I have also been searching for one, but haven't found it. In any case, searching for writing markets online should help. There are many Indian magazines and other publications with an online presence. Give it a shot-I will as well and I'll keep you posted with whatever I find. Cheers!

Hi all, I have had the same problem which is why, I have targetted international markets.
