Welcome to the Writers' Markets at Dowse.com. The following market listings relate mainly to speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror and slipstream) but also cover some other areas such as mystery fiction. The information which comprises the listings has been gathered from the websites of print magazines and ezines, as well as from the writers guidelines of magazines.

How to use these listings

The listings on these pages should be considered as a guide only, as it is not possible to reproduce magazine guidelines in totality here. Therefore, writers are advised to use the Dowse Writers' Markets as a starting point in order to determine a shortlist of possible markets for their work. More detailed information can then be obtained by visiting the websites of magazines, by obtaining a copy of a magazine's guidelines, and (probably most importantly of all) obtaining a copy of a magazine itself. Writers are strongly advised to study at least one issue of any magazine or ezine to which they intend to send their work. By matching the right work with the right market many frustrating rejections can be avoided. Submitting at random can only build a negative reputation for the writer concerned, as well as reducing the chances of acceptances.

Newer writers should note that the chances of having their work accepted for publication are higher in the non-paying markets, many of which are quite prestigious and serve as a place where newer writers get noticed. 

Terms used:

RT =              response time: an indication only of typical time
                      taken to respond to a submission
FNASR =      First North American Serial Rights
SF/F/H/DF/SL =  science fiction/fantasy/horror/dark fantasy/slipstream

Bonnie Mercure's Guide to Writers' Markets.


"An isolated stone cottage with no mains water, invaded by mice, rats and swarms of insects, a place where giant snowdrifts sever the electricity supply and all connections with the outside world... This is what Lawrence and Christine Dyer face when they start a new life up in the bleak, rocky hills of the English Peak District..."

A place of dreams and nightmares... or a dream come true?
