Business suggestion...

OK, so I've fluffed up "The Dragon's Child" and it's ready to go out...only the market I want to send it to is still closed. Hmmph!

I think that Ralan should start a side business...where you can send him your story and he'll suggest 5 good market matches for it. All for the reasonable cost of...say $5. (Somehow, I think he's going to ignore this suggestion.)

It's very difficult to 'know' all the markets. I currently have subscriptions to: Shimmer, Black Gate, Baen's Universe, Asimov's, Fantasy (actually, I think this issue might be my last)and Speculations. In addition, I have recent copies of ROF, Weird Tales, Locus....And I still don't feel like I've seen a tenth of what's out there.

OK, so if anyone knows of a good market-niche-locater out there, (who's willing to work dirt cheap) let me know!

That's the market I'm waiting for. I know they're reading now, I just don't know when they'll open the floodgates again...

(And if it bombs there, it'll go to IGMS)
