Writer’s Resources: Paying Markets
Keeping track of the SF, fantasy and horror markets for short fiction is beyond the capabilities of your editorial staff.
The Gila Queen’s Guide to Markets, Spicy Green Iguana and the Market Maven at Speculations will keep you up to date about markets that are opening or closing. Both are paid subscriptions and are invaluable for hearing about anthologies or requests for submissions from some of the higher quality magazines that have an infrequent printing schedule or themed issues. Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet being an example of a high quality magazine–comes out on a quarterly basis. You’ll hear it first here when they’re open for submissions.
When you want to know the response times or published pay rates for an established market, head over to Ralan’s. The Black Hole also offers response times.
