Helpful features: screening for genre, flash or short story etc. also you can save upcoming deadlines and track any submissions. they send out a free newsletter each week with new markets.

π¨If you know ANYONE in Texas it's time for them to call their reps and demand NO ON HB3225π¨
This sounds fantastic! I loved both The Deep Sky and Stardust Grail and your weaving of mystery/scifi elements in both!!

Happy spring equinox! Our Araucana hen laid her first egg of the season 2 weeks ago, and 2 days ago several chipmunks came out from their winter hibernation/torpor, and the migrating flock of band-tailed pigeons that come every spring appeared!
