"SpecFicMe is a boon to genre writers. Its market
listings are everything you could ask for: comprehensive, current, detailed, easy
to read and understand. If you can't make back the cost of a subscription many times
over by using these lists to submit your work, you probably shouldn't be a genre
writer."
--Bruce Boston, winner of the
Pushcart Prize, the Asimov's Readers' Award, the Bram Stoker Award, the Rhysling
Award, and the first Grand Master Award of the Science Fiction Poetry Association
"SpecFicMe more than pays for itself by compiling
all the paying markets that are out there in a timely, updated, and exhaustive manner...I
often find out about new magazines and anthologies from SpecFicMe before I hear
about them elsewhere, and I think Doyle Wilmoth is doing things with technology
that NO ONE ELSE is doing, making it truly one-of-a-kind and lightning fast. Sure,
you can visit other websites for free, but those markets are like ABC gum. SpecFicMe
is the fresh stuff, and its offers a LOT to chew on. I recommend it highly for all
fantasy and horror writers."
-- Michael A. Arnzen, Bram Stoker Award
winning author of 100 Jolts: Shockingly Short Stories
