This page contains anthologies and other one-time markets that pay in exposure, copy/copies, shared royalties with zero or a token advance (except for those built on a "Pay", "Semipro", or "Pro" model), or token payments of less than 1¢/word for the mean average of the word counts accepted, that do not include works written by the publisher(s), editor(s), or staff, other than those necessary to promotion. Read the complete guidelines carefully before submitting. If in doubt about anything, contact the editor. US ($), UK (£), or EU (€) currency are used unless otherwise noted. Addresses are US unless noted otherwise. These listings are provided in good faith with the belief the info is correct, but Ralan.com accepts no responsibility for any errors or omissions in them. The fact that an entry is listed here is no guarantee that said entity will ever publish anything. All "when filled" listings are removed six months after the date of first posting — no exceptions. Contact with any editor or publisher is at the contributor's own risk — Ralan.com encourages all potential contributors to do a web search of the editor's and/or publisher's name before submitting to them. Each visitor assumes all risk associated with the use or misuse of the information here.
Exposure Only and Token markets that use a professional submission service only will not be listed.
