Finding the right home for your writing will take a lot of research and many hours spent sifting through submission guidelines, but there are resources out there that can help save you time and energy so you can focus on writing more material. One of those resources is Duotrope. Duotrope is a publisher listing service that helps writers find agents and publishers so they can focus on creating. While writers can certainly find publishers and agents on their own, all that research takes time—dozens of precious hours that could be spent writing, revising, or working on marketing plans for the book. Just imagine all the spreadsheets, all the blood, sweat, and tears that would go into finding publications that are looking for your specific genre right now, then tracking all your submissions and responses from those publications? But you can outsource this job to writing marketplace subscriptions like Duotrope.

Written by Emily Harstone February 17th, Duotrope is a publisher listing service. They are primarily a catalog of literary journals although they include small presses as well. This year Duotrope is branching out to include more mainstream magazines and publications that are open to journalistic submissions. At the time I am writing this their listing includes markets that accept f iction, poetry, or nonfiction. In order to access detailed information about these markets you must be a duotrope subscriber. Duotrope has submission trackers that subscribers can use to track of where their work is submitted, where it is accepted and where it is rejected. They use the information about where members submit their work to provide acceptance and rejection rates for many markets. They also use this information to provide information about how much time, on average, each market takes to consider a piece. Some journals accept over 50 percent of what is submitted to them.

When I originally wrote this series of posts, I was still an active Duotrope user. I have since stopped using it because it no longer suited my needs. You can read about that decision here. We knew this was coming. When they finally announced the site was switching to paid subscriptions, many writers were upset, and maybe rightfully so. I consider these the three biggest features of the site: the submissions tracker, the market listings, and the response statistics.

Pretty similar search functionality. Let us know in the comments below! Let me know if you need anything else on it. The site is also proud of its impartiality, as it is ad-free and does not accept payment from any publisher for a listing or to promote a project. After all, this is where Duotrope can really come in handy. In order to do that you have to enter your credit card information and you have to cancel before that trial becomes a 5 dollar US a month membership. At least for the first month.

Bartleby Snopes accepts more submissions than Duotrope claims albeit by a statistically insignificant difference? Duotrope is by far the most comprehensive place to find markets.
