I've been to THE MARKET LIST site. No problem. However...everytime I try to get the various magazines' guidelines, I get a message that the server cannot find the page/

It happens with every single one of the magazines.

What's going on?

Is it just my server?

This is out of date.

Try Ralan.com or http://www.duotrope.com/writers.aspx

Posted by arriki (Member # 3079) on :

tried that, went there but it wasn't a list of open markets like the market list is, even if out of date

Are all those magazines closed? I mean, I can't even get to the ASIMOV'S and F&SF guidelines from the market list.

That's what I'm looking for -- a list of markets looking for submissions with their guidelines and whether pro, semi-pro or other.

Are you sure you went to www.ralan.com? That has exactly what you are looking for. Duotrope does too, you just have to browse the tabs a bit.

Oops. I stand corrected.

On Duotrope, you can select to search only open markets (there's a check box for that at the bottom of the search form.)

And Asimov's doesn't require anyone send a SASE for their guidelines. They can be found at http://www.asimovs.com/info/guidelines.shtml

If it's hard to find submission guidelines on a site, you can Google it with a site qualifier:

quote:
submission guidelines site:asimovs.com

gives you the guidelines as the third hit, and a page with a link to the guidelines as the second.

quote:
submission guidelines site:shimmerzine.com

gives you the guidelines for that outstanding speculative fiction magazine as the first hit. And so on.
