Not only all who write, but all who read, are interested to know how great authors have achieved their work, to see them in the workshop, so to speak, and to be informed about the methods of production of the masterpieces of the world's liter ature. To those who read, such information is interesting, because it heightens their enjoyment of the books they love; while to those who write, it is valuable, because it gives them almost the only instruction available in the literary art, and teaches them by example how their own literary work may be lightened or improved. Dr. Erichser has written both for the reader and the writer in his attractive and entertaining book and the writer will find it as instructive as the reader will find it fascinating. Much of the material for the book has been gathered directly from the authors themselves, and the rest has been taken from authentic sources. Not only American and English writers, but the writers of France, Germany, and other European countries are included in the work. There is hardly a page in the book that does not give some useful suggestion to students of authorship, and those who read it simply for entertainment will find it full of fascinating interest.

The information for this Directory, showing the magazine market, has been gathered directly from the periodicals, and is strictly up to date. The Directory will be continued in THE WRITER, and changes and additions will be made monthly as required. Subscribers for the magazine will thus get this valuable information free of cost. The information as to manuscript requirements is furnished directly by the editors of the different publications. Before submitting manuscripts to any publication it is advisable to secure a sample copy.
