Our Yearbooks
The Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook, part of Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, has remained the authoritative resource for practical publishing guidance and putting people in touch with the creative industries for over a century. Along with its sister title, the Children’s Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook, it publishes every year in July. These guides are renowned for practical support and unrivalled up-to-date advice for writers and publishers of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and scripts for screen and stage. They also include over 4,500 industry contacts, such as UK and international literary agencies, publishers, media companies, newspapers, magazines, and prizes and societies.
Meanwhile, our W&A Guide To… series offers in-depth practical advice on specific elements of the creative journey, while we also publish titles for writers looking for inspiration, writing prompts, grammar tips, or guidance on project management. Click here to view our full range of titles
