Market Research:

Your source for information about various fiction markets both on and off-line. This is by no means a complete list and it is not separated by genre as of yet. Though for some publications, such as Aboriginal SF, it should be fairly obvious what they're looking for.

NOTE: A link to a magazine/site/publisher from this page should not be seen as either a recommendation or an endorsement of the magazine or its contents. These links are provided solely for the purposes of market research.

Speaking of Market Research, here's a few links to help you on your way. These are larger sources, listing many different publications, though there is some duplication since there's only a limited number of markets out there. Most are for SF/F/Horror magazines or publications, but a few are general resources. Good luck!
