I have a writer's market from 1997 (lol OLD haha) and I think it has a section in it that lists literary agents. Is the guide to literary agents more thorough for the genre you are looking for or what?
I asked this earlier and didn't get an answer for this question, so I'll try again.

no no no I'm not asking do I need a new one. I think that is pretty duh since the one I have is 10 years old. I was just mentioning it to mention that it listed literary agents in it. I'm buying The Writers Market, and I'm asking do I need to buy the Guide to Literary Agents too.

I only use the Guide to Literary Agents - haven't seen the Writer's Market.
I have a 2006 & 2007 Guide and have found them VERY helpful.
Get a new one. There were 2 agents in the 2006 Guide that I queried that are not in the 2007 Guide.
Good luck

The Guide to Literary Agents has more agents in it of course, but neither one is as complete as Literary Marketplace. However that one costs 300 bucks. Most libraries have it for you to use as a reference book. I always advise people once you are starting to actually sell work, treat yourself to a subscription but for now borrow it at the library. You can't check it out so bring along a notebook to make a lot of notes.
I have started starring all the important questions with regards to writing - so if you add me as a fan, you can access and use the important questions and answers without having to weed through Resolved Questions. Print out a batch and study them. Pax - C

Get a newer edition of The Writer's Market.
If they have a newer guide to Literary Agents, it couldn't hurt.
Personally, if I was looking for an agent, I would ALWAYS check them out with Preditors and Editors. Bookmark it.

The handbook to Literary brokers has extra brokers in it of direction, yet neither one is as finished as Literary marketplace. in spite of the undeniable fact that that one expenses 3 hundred greenbacks. maximum libraries have it which you would be able to apply as a reference e book. I continuously advise people as quickly as you're commencing to fairly sell artwork, manage your self to a subscription yet for now borrow it on the library. you could not verify it out so convey alongside a workstation to make a great sort of notes. I even have started starring each and all of the numerous questions regarding writing - so in case you upload me as a fan, you may get admission to and use the numerous questions and solutions while not having to weed by using Resolved Questions. Print out a batch and learn them. Pax - C

You don't need a new one every year if you have a public library nearby that has one. But if now you are getting more serious than in 97, it would be a good time for a new one.
