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.

I have bought a copy of the Photographers Market every year since the 70's. Almost every photography sale I've made has come from information gleened from this publication. I used to belong to a group where you paid an annual fee of a couple of hundered dollars and got a weekly or daily notice of who was looking for what type of photography for their publication/paper product. I subscribed to this service for several years and NEVER made a sale with the information I got from it even though I followed all the instructions to the letter. If you are just starting out in freelance or editorial photography this is an incredible tool. If you are an experienced shooter, there is still a lot of excellent information contained in this book.
