Are you referring to Writers' Market? I'm not familiar with Writers'
Guidelines.

Subject: [stylist] Writers guidelines site, how to access my folder

Hello all,

I was not finding an easily navigable copy f the writers guidelines 
book, and purchased an online membership instead.

I find that searching on the site and saving markets to my folder is 
very straight forward.

I can not for the life of me get to the folder, though.

Any experience from people on how the folder can be accessed?
