Shelley Ettinger's list of Markets for Writers of Literary Short Fiction
Shelley Ettinger sent information from the Poets & Writers' Speakeasy discussion board where some writers listed fiction markets by degree of impossibility of getting published in them. She points out that it is not comprehensive (and recommends the fuller list at http://www.newpages.com) but says she likes the way this one breaks it down.
Shelley also recommends Duotrope.com/ , an often-updated service listing markets by category. I. Too competitive for words:
