PLEASE READ: This list is provided to assist writers in identifying the publications in this project by genre. As with any attempt to do this, the organizers occasionally find themselves trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Users should use this list as a guideline to appropriate resources for their work, but should not rely strictly on these classifications. Reading the publication guidelines and a few previously published works is still the best way to understand what an editor is looking for. Scroll down the alphabetical list in the right-hand column for links to the publications.
