Devoted to publishing, publishers and to those who craft the written word

Thanks for the link! I feel obliged to mention, though, that I was talking primarily about queries having to do with formatting issues. In general, most science fiction and fantasy magazines (including Strange Horizons, the magazine I edit for) would rather not receive "pitches" per se for fiction; in general, such magazines would rather that authors just submit the story rather than querying ahead of time about it. (Assuming the story matches the guidelines.) I know that for nonfiction and novels, it's often best to query first; I'm just talking about short stories.

Btw, your other two links in that last paragraph also appear to be about submitting complete stories rather than about pitches/queries per se.

Thanks for mentioning my blog in your article! I appreciate it.

I've moved the blog, though, and put it on my own server.
