Among the many resources new writers rely on are Screenwriter’s & Playwright’s Market and the Guide to Literary Agents, which are edited by Chuck Sambuchino and published by Writer's Digest Books. The two guidebooks are usually available to borrow from public libraries.
Chuck Sambuchino enlisted Robin Mizell as a contributor to the 2009 and 2010 editions of Screenwriter’s & Playwright’s Market.
