Notes: I include ones that were accepted but never published, because they had gone through the process of editorial selection. That’s a bit cheaty, but I try to keep thorough notes, and some like New Blood, would have been reasonably important sales … and I marked them with strikethrough to give a showing of how hit-or-miss the zine markets could be. Sometimes I just didn’t get the mail or contrib copy. Some of the ones marked never published here, I swear I saw the issues in one of the boxes in my closets a while ago.

Listings in italics show my own collections and blogs. I include those so you can see where to find those pieces. When you write only short stuff, you do need to be able to build your own collections so you have something to show/sell at events.

Listings in bold are the better pro magazines and anthologies.
