_[Writer's Digest](https://www.writersdigest.com/)_ is still chugging away with their Writer's Market series. With more specialities than ever. I found the 2018 (though the 2019 one is out) [Poet's Market](https://www.writersdigestshop.com/poet-s-market-2019-ebook-r8473) on [Hoopla](https://www.hoopladigital.com/). (Hoopla is a repository of e-books and movies available for free if your library subscribes to it...you don't keep them, you check out up to 10 titles a month.)

You can't do any searches (except the usual type in an e-book) but it's the best collection of publishers, magazines, contests, and more for the American market (and is perhaps the best for other English-speaking countries).

You can also find paper copies of these books at your local library, usually in the reference section (which means you can't check them out, but this varies). Or of course you can purchase a paper or electronic copy. Older ones are still valuable and you can sometimes get them for a song at a used bookstore when the new ones come out.

So take some time and go through the book. There are articles on many aspects of writing and publishing poetry and it talks about the latest market trends. Then go through the listings and pull some that matter. It takes more time than using a specialized search engine, but it will be more comprehensive.

Original score: 4
