For readers who want something off the beaten path, you might like them and the SF field can use all the breadth (& number of markets) it can get. Most novelists get their start in the magazine markets and it can be interesting to start following a writer before he/she starts "really making it." For writers, these are good markets (particularly FANTASY BOOK) for those manuscripts that might have gotten a nice rejection note from one of the bigger mags. FANTASY BOOK P.O. Box 60126, Pasadena, CA 91106. $12.00 per year/$3.95 per issue/published quarterly. I wouldn't get this if I was going to get only *one* magazine, but if you like fantasy, it might be worth your while. A relatively new magazine, it's actually been around almost five years and seems like it might make it. Good mix of all kinds of fantasy. This is also a good market for writers who have got decent stories that haven't sold to ASIMOV's or F&SF. LAST WAVE (address: don't have an issue on me, see below.) Price unknown, theoretically published quarterly, actually published when the editor feels he has enough stories to make an issue. Well, I don't like this one, but I admire the editor's guts. The magazine is billed as "the last best hope of speculative fiction." Very new wave -- which in general I don't care for -- but for which there isn't much of a market for in the American magazine market. If you like New Wave SF, then buy this magazine. If you can't find it (it's listed in Fiction Writer's Market, or your specialty SF bookstore can get it for you), then message me. Keep the SF market open to diversity. The editor is Scot Edelman, Somewhere In New York. -- from the bewildered musings of Jim Brunet decvax!cca!ima!jimb ucbvax!ucla-cs!ism780!jimb ihnp4!vortex!ism780!jimb Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
