My Work
I write under the pen name of V. Anne Arden; here are my published works:
- Hunter
- A coming-of-age fantasy in Issue #9 of Forgotten Worlds
- Sun
- My first sale was a short-short which appeared in issue #14 of Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet.
- But I don't know how to critique!
- See my very first published piece in Vision: A Resource for Writers. It's in a non-paying ezine (although now they pay 0.25 cents/word, but not when I got published), and isn't fiction, but hey, it's a start!
Writing Resources
- Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America:
- Professional society for writers, lot of good information about writing itself, and writing as a business.
- Write Market Webzine:
- Links to lots of resources. Also has market listings (see below).
- Forward Motion:
- Holly Lisle's writing pages, a great resource, has grown enourmously since I first visited in 1999. An active community has evolved where members workshop stories for critique and participate in writing exercises, classes, and games, among other things. Holly stepped back from active participation in the community to devote more time to her writing, but you can still find all of her very usefull essays. If you're looking for support, encouragement, and advice about writing, this is definitely a place to check out.
- Writer's Write:
- Big site, with lots of articles and info. Also has market listings (see below).
Market Information
- Spicy Green Iguana:
- Fairly complete listing of links to print and electronic speculative fiction magazines, also book publishers. Keeps up to date.
- Paula Fleming's Market List:
- Good list of speculative fiction magazines, along with addresss, info about pay rates, guidelines, etc. Has websites for some, but not hyperlinked. Links to some resources, though. Updated regularly.
- Ralan Conley's Webstravaganza:
- More market listings, along with other stuff. Most uniquely, he's got a chart with data on response times to his submissions. Also pretty up to date.
- The Market List:
- Fairly large list, although it seems to lag on the updating.
- Write Market Webzine:
- A good listing, seems current. This link goes to their science fiction and fantasy markets, they also have several other genre and general listings, as well as writing resources (see above).
- Writer's Write Guideline Directory:
- Searchable listing of all sorts of markets.
- Submitting to the Black Hole:
- A site where people report response times for various publishers and magazines. I always check out the Black Hole listing before submitting to a market that's new to me. They are also starting to add some guideline info.
- Mary Soon Lee's Speculative Fiction Markets
- Short story author Mary Soon Lee has a compilation of science fiction and fantasy markets, similar in scope to the Aerie's list, but covering some different magazines.
- Open Directory Science Fiction Magazines
- Open Directory Fantasy Magazines
- Open Directory Horror Magaziens
- Listing of print and electronic magazines at the open source web curation project Open Directory.
- The Aerie's Own Speculative Fiction Markets
- This is my own compilation and is nowhere near as complete as the previous listings. Basically, it is a way of organizing my bookmarks; but if you want to take a look, feel free. Warning, this page has a lot of links. It may take some time to load! (this may be an out-of date warning in the age of broad band, but if you're on dial-up, it may be an issue)
