Links For Readers and Writers
- I am in the process of organising this list of sites (and need to make
the page look pretty), but I thought I would give you something to look at
until the final version is ready.
- I have come across many small press publications and e-zines on my net
travels.
Whether you are a fan of Sci-fi, horror and fantasy, or you love poetry
or literary fiction then at least one of these sites will be for you!!
- If you are a reader you may find a new magazine to read, or why
not check out some of the fantastic e-zines - they are free to read after
all!!
- If you are a writer, I have tried to provide market information
for you but make sure you check the site and contact the site owner if you
are unsure.( I am still updating this information).
