  1. The “Top 25” Lists: Lazy, Fast, Challenging, Accessible

    Especially for those of you who are curious about statistics, Duotrope’s “Top 25” lists will be interesting to you and useful for finding new markets to test. Let’s start with my favorite: the 25 plus accessible listed markets. These are the magazines and websites that accept the most manuscripts. (Think you’d never see a site with a 100% acceptance rate? Think again.) I have introduced myself to five of these myself. Perhaps, if you want to test the novelty of your writing, you’ll try one of “The Challenging” markets; These are the 25 magazines that decline more manuscripts than anyone. If you want quick answers, try sending to one of the 25 the fastest markets (is 0-3 days fast enough for you?); or submit a manuscript that doesn’t particularly interest you to the slower markets in the publishing world (some take over a year to respond!).

  2. Glossary of terms

    New to Duotrope? Familiarize yourself with the terminology used on the site by visiting the glossary of terms. What does the abbreviation “DNQ” stand for? How many words are in a short novel?

    You’ve seen the publisher’s website and searched through the submission guidelines with a fine-tooth comb. But you want to know more about the market and the publishers before you submit. Have you checked if Duotrope has interviewed the editor? What kind of books do you like to read? How do they handle your submission when considering it?

Sign up for the free Duotrope e-newsletter the weekly wire Be among the first to know when new literary magazines appear.
