New Book from a Critter Member
**NOW IN PRINT EDITION TOO!** Awesome new book, HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SPECULATIVE FICTION OPENINGS, from a Critter member who's unearthed a shard of The Secret to becoming a pro writer. Really good piece of work. "...if you're at all concerned about story openings, you'd be nuts not to read what Qualkinbush has to say." —Wil McCarthy, author of BLOOM and THE COLLAPSIUMHow to Write SF
The Craft of Writing Science Fiction that Sells by Ben Bova, best-selling author and six-time Hugo Award winner for Best Editor. (This is one of the books your ol' Critter Captain learned from himself, and I highly recommend it.) (Also via Amazon)
Interviewed!
I was interviewed live on public radio for Critters' birthday, for those who want to listen.

Aburt's Quick Market List
Well, that got outdated (markets come & go, web sites move around, etc.). :-)
So instead, this is a list of where you might find other market lists. (Beware that they, too, may be outdated. It's hard to keep up with such a dynamic field!)
- The Black Holes is a list of market response times that I run (that you can add to) -- and people can add market contact/guidelines information to it as well.
- The Market List -- a site dedicated to market listings.
- Click here for a Google search on the terms "market list" and "science fiction". This may lead you to new lists (or old, outdated ones :-).
- Ralan's Webstravaganza -- lots of listsings
- Story Pilot's SF&F Market Engine
- Here are a few extremely well known sites (though even they may move
URLs etc.):
Note that if you're looking for a particular market, they may still exist at another URL, so if you're really interested in one, look up the name via your favorite search engine.
