Aburt's Quick Market List
Well, that got outdated (markets come & go, web sites move around, etc.). :-)
So instead, this is a list of where you might find other market lists. (Beware that they, too, may be outdated. It's hard to keep up with such a dynamic field!)
- The Black Holes is a list of market response times that I run (that you can add to) -- and people can add market contact/guidelines information to it as well.
- The Market List -- a site dedicated to market listings.
- Click here for a Google search on the terms "market list" and "science fiction". This may lead you to new lists (or old, outdated ones :-).
- Ralan's Webstravaganza -- lots of listsings
- Story Pilot's SF&F Market Engine
- Here are a few extremely well known sites (though even they may move
URLs etc.):
Note that if you're looking for a particular market, they may still exist at another URL, so if you're really interested in one, look up the name via your favorite search engine.
