[stylist] A couple of notes on March Telephone Gathering

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Dear Division and STYLIST Member:

Last evening we had a great call with Nadia Giordana, it was well received
by those who attended (9 of us were on the call). 

One interesting section is where she covered the types of submissions she
looks for to fill the pages of her literary magazine, "The Mississippi
Crow." And one question she was asked, is where can we find a listing of the
various other small literary publications. Below is the answer to that
question (provided to us by Myrna Badgerow:

Welcome to  Duotrope!
Duotrope is an _award-winning_ (http://duotrope.com/about.aspx) , free
resource for fiction  writers and poets. We offer:

a _fully searchable  database_ (http://duotrope.com/search.aspx)  of over
4,125 active  publishers
statistics on publishers' response times, acceptance-rejection  ratios, etc.
the ability to track all your submissions in your own  submissions tracker 

Hello everyone!  I went on the site to  double check my information before I
sent this out to you and it is as I  remembered.  You can search for
publications for free and the  search  form is really quite good and
pinpoints what you are looking for.. ex. genre,  style, etc. 
You can sign up if you would like to use the  tracking feature which will
help you catalogue where you have sent your  submissions to which is a
really cool option I think.  They do not send  SPAM but you will get a
newsletter from time to time about new publishers and  the like.  Overall,
the navigation is fairly simple.  I don't know if  it would be so using JAWS
or any similar program but it seems as though it might  be fine.  I have
signed up myself and intend to start using it.  I  hope this information
helps and that you find this site as interesting as I did.  The one thing I
did not see is a comment or blog section about the ratings of  certain
sites, if you are looking for that.  It seems that has been removed  or I
just didn't look hard enough.
