Aswiebe's Market List Update

[abracanabra]

Editor's Note
With Christmas season in full swing (and how did it get here so fast?), it feels a little like my writing time is running away from me--or turning into Christmas card-addressing time instead. It's easy to get busy and let writing slip, whether it's during the holiday season or any other time of the year when life gets busy. I have to remind myself that when life gets busy, it's time to take a step back, look over everything, and figure out what's important, urgent, or both. Remembering that is the hard part!

Aswiebe's Market List
Aswiebe's Market List is a searchable, sortable spreadsheet of paying fantasy, science fiction, and horror markets.  This way it's easy to find, for example, only horror markets that accept reprints greater than 10,000 words. For more information on what it is and how to use it, see About Aswiebe.com's Market Spreadsheet. If you find it useful, please consider donating via PayPal to help support it. If you get a story published in a market you found through this list, let me know and I'll add a note to the next newsletter!

Featured Market

The Devil's Food Anthology of Horror (http://themonstersnextdoor.com/DFguidelines.html) - Maybe you'll find inspiration for this anthology as you feast on holiday food!

Stories should be centered on humans as food for some type of monster. Stories should have a supernatural element. Classic monsters (vampires, werewolves, zombies, etc) are okay, as well as new, creative and original monsters. The focus of the story should be the threat of being eaten; this should dominate the tone of the story.

Supernatural horror, 3,000-7,500 words long. No reprints. Pays $25.
