Where is the Christian short fiction market?

[scribblerworks]

So, now that I'm out of Jeopardy! and am gearing up to work on lots of my own writing, it occured to me the other day that now would be the time to get a current copy of The Writer's Market.  So, I got the 2009 edition, and when I got home I thumbed through it.

In the course of my sorting through old boxes of papers, I had unearthed the manuscript

My sense is that there are deep demoninational splits--so that what is acceptable to one group is satan's spawn to another.

You might do some trolling about on line, seeking Christian fiction markets through Google and subsequent links.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll probably look into it all when I get back after MythCon.

It just struck me as weird that none of the magazines published fiction, even though they were up for the personal stories and meditations.

That's funny. When I subscribed to a Christian women's magazine a few years ago, I thought it published fiction. But I'm not 100% sure and even if it did then, it may no longer do so.

What about the standard women's magazines like Redbook, Good Housekeeping, and Ladies' Home Journal. Do they publish fiction? Maybe they might be open to explicitly Christian fiction.

And the Paypal $1 donation thing is working for the Shadow Unit folks (Emma Bull, Elizabeth Bear, Sarah Monette, and Will Shetterly for the writers plus an artist whose name I can't recall) if you want to go the online route. I don't know how much money they're getting off of it, but I always contribute (through the Amazon link -- I don't do Paypal, it confuses me) when they put up a new episode.

I'll look into those further.

*sigh* The more I rifle around the Writer's Market, the more evident it is that I shall have to get myself an agent. Well, I knew that was on the agenda eventually, but I can't ignore it.
