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 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 juliaw-nospam@attglobal.net (remove -nospam to use this address).

Alexandria Digital Literature--not really a webzine, but a repository of hundreds of short stories and a few novels, mostly science fiction, fantasy, and horror (all reprints--some award-winning fiction). Can be read for a very small fee. Also, if you rate stories you've read, the computer will suggest stories and novels it thinks you'd enjoy!Authors interested in submitting work write for guidelines (send a self-addressed stamped envelope) to: Alexandria Digital Literature, 701 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4380, Seattle, WA 98104
