Kerr, Loyola Press, McDougal Littell, McGraw-Hill Contemporary, Planners Press, Rand McNally, Skylight Professional Development, Sourcebooks, Third World Press, University of Chicago Press, and World Book. This up-to-date guide provides an overview of each organization's publications program--including topics and titles they are currently looking to buy. Subject matter of these publishers ranges from poetry and theology to business and medical reference. Many publishers are moving into audio, video, and CD-ROM formats.

A second section provides a summary of those freelance and fulltime resources they hire, along with any special skill or experience requirements for their projects.
