I’ve wondered it. You’ve wondered it. Or not. But now’s your chance to wonder in case you haven’t. Which SF&F markets publish the most new authors? (Hat tip to Cat Rambo, who also explains Why You’re Always Being Rejected by Fantasy Magazine.<\/b><\/a>) Here’s her breakdown<\/b><\/a> of the percent of fresh blood for each market:<\/p>\n

F&SF:<\/b><\/a> 3%
Analog:<\/b><\/a> 5%
 Asimov’s:<\/b><\/a> 20%
Baen’s Universe:<\/b><\/a> 21%
Intergalactic Medicine Show:<\/b><\/a> 32%
Interzone:<\/b><\/a> 40%
Realms of Fantasy: 51%
Clarkesworld:<\/b><\/a> 61%
Strange Horizons:<\/b><\/a> 68%
Weird Tales:<\/b><\/a> 72%
Chizine:<\/b><\/a> 78%
Fantasy Magazine:<\/b><\/a> 88%<\/p>\n

So if you’ve never published anything before and your query to F&SF keeps getting SASEd back to you, now you might have an inkling why.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/p>\n

Finally, I want to add a plug for SmokeLong Quarterly,<\/b><\/a> even though it’s not sf&f, and even though I have no idea what percentage of new writers they publish, because (a) it’s the bees knees, and (b) fellow blogger Davin Malasarn<\/b><\/a> helps edit it. Check out his blog for an interesting essay of the value of online publication.<\/p>\n

If you know of any other publications deserving a plug, let me know and I’ll be glad to add them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
