Fantasy and Science Fiction Author Julia H. West

Electronic Markets for Science Fiction and Fantasy

A growing number of magazines are publishing on the World Wide Web--and science fiction seems to lend itself well to this medium. Below are all the paying SF/F/H e-zines I'm aware of; the number grows daily, so if you know of one that's not on this list, E-mail me at julia.west-nospam@sff.net (remove -nospam to use this address).
