market lists and time-trackers

[karuna]

Hello Everyone,

In other realms of writing, there are many web resources like market lists and time trackers (lists of how long sumbissions usually take to turn into rejections). Does such a thing exists for filth? Ur... I mean, porn... um... I mean erotica? Yeah, that's the ticket: erotica.

Anyhow, I sent some nonfiction into Hustler a few months back and still haven't gotten my rejection slip. I included the SASE and everything. I'mwondering when I should get impatient. I mean, impatienter.

Anybody know of any market lists or time trackers that do erotica?, especially Hustler?

List & trackers

Magazine like playboy and others will tell quickly if the accept your story. So I'd say they didn't accept yours. But keep trying.

Uh... I will keep trying, Sshafer. Here's me trying again:

Does anyone know of any market lists with time trackers that do adult-content periodicals?

Lists & Trackers

I sent in a story a year and a half ago to playboy and another to Penthouse and never heard a word. Tjey said in the press clipping that the only way you would know if they were going to pub. your story was the month they did it you would get a cheack.

As far as lists Writer Market book that a good start. As far as tracking I have no idea what the heck that is. sorry

Playboy is one of the most competative markets out there, for both fiction and nonfiction writing. It should sooner be compared to The New Yorker than to Hustler. Since you seem to be a few letters short of a keyboard, literally and figuratively, I am wondering if that might have something to do with your experience. Did you remember your SASE?

I figured that out from your very first post, Sschafer.

I don't have a great deal of knowledge about print magazines,

but I remember reading the fine print from Penthouse Letters.

They said - anything you sent to them was their property. You immediately lost all publication rights from anything you submitted for their perusal.

So - I decided against them and for Literotica.

Some magazines have very explicit (pardon the pun) submission guidelines, which if you don't follow to the letter? Tough. I have noticed that many American publications want you to submit a hard copy of your story with a SASE. However, if you read the fine print, it also states that they do not accept international reply cards, which seems to be the only way to send a SASE to a foreign country. U.S. stamps seem to be a rarity in Canada, but still, doesn't every country sell U.S. stamps?

What does this mean? Again. Tough. In all likelihood, unless your story is accepted, you may never hear.

Large market magazines like Hustler, Penthouse, and Playboy receive a huge number of submissions from both pro and amateur (understatement) writers. I have heard from those who have published, that it can take up to a year.

This is no surprise (having worked for a few magazines) since many magazines determine a lot of their editorial content 6 months to a year in advance.

I always follow submission guidelines carefully, and I use a US stamp for my SASE for submissions to US magazines. Countries other than the US tend to acknowledge the existance of a world outside their borders, and their publications accept international reply coupons.

The delay isn't yet excessive: a little over 2 months. It's just that as I obsessively watch my mailbox in expectation of my precious rejection slip (will it be a form letter, or hand-written this time?), I have the habit of looking on the time trackers to see how long is too long. Hustler doesn't seem to be on any of lists I can find.

This is all moot now, as my writing career is ruined. I have angered the great and powerful Grand Executive Editorial Poobah of an e-zine for barely-literate outpatients who won't take their medication.

Ah... e-publishing! Its rigour, exclusivity, and high standards impress me more and more each day.

Karuna I realy don't care what you say. Your the one that asked not me. If I didn't spell everything to your liking I'm realy sorry. I was a tad bit busy. At The time I was talking on the phone and had another write in my office and looking over a list of stories. But I took time out to try to help you and do a get a thanks from you no. I get a smart ass replie you will find being a smart ass will not endear you to many people aroud here. We try to help each other around here on this thread. So when you ask something and some one takes time out of their day to answer. You might want to say thanks and not be a smart ass.
