If you are a fiction or poetry writer, where do you go to find the perfect publication for your work? Writer’s Market (http://writersmarket.com/) is the touch stone of information. They have a treasure trove of information and have over 6,000 market listings and contact names. At $5.99 per month or $39.99 a year, they are a resource every writer should know about.
However, I would like to introduce you to a free site that I have used to find a publisher for my last two short stories. Duotrope’s Digest (http://www.duotrope.com/index.aspx) has over 2425 fiction and poetry listings. The main search criteria include: Genre, Theme, length, Pay scale, and Media. They, also, have a submission tracker – and we all know that can be priceless.
When you go to the Details page, you are treated to a plethora of information to narrow your search. If you want more, there is a link directly to the website of the publication.
They even have a listing of the most slothful publications (http://www.duotrope.com/rtstats.aspx?pubtype=S&report=Top25) (that steered me away from Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine), the quickest, the publications that accept the fewest submissions.
All-in-all, I love this site and recommend that you, at the least, give it a look when searching for a publisher.
