#SFWA offers a market list. It lists new markets, open markets, recently closed markets, and permanently close markets. The clickable links go directly to the The Submission Grinder. https://www.sfwa.org/?s=market+report There are lots of other author resources available. Especially Writer Beware.

They actually have multiple parts of the website I did not know were there. The Open Reading Periods page is split into two sections. One with open dates, and another for year round open markets. They do have a submission tracker, though I have never used it. I do find that their market list is more likely to include fiction, poetry, and drabble markets. Their market pages include important information such as links to guidelines, reading period, fees, and response tim

Submittable is a submission portal mostly used by the drabble and fiction markets I follow. though there are a few other genres as well.

#Aswiebe is a #ShortStory market list that is posted occasionally. It is a downloadable Excel or Libre Office spreadsheet with multiple fields. The author even includes yearly dead markets lists. There is a posted date for the last updated spreadsheet. https://aswiebe.com/marketlist/ In fact, these spreadsheets are a great place to start with creating your own personal spreadsheets. You may have different needs, genres, or more. Maybe someday, I will share my Scrivene

or authors - there is no login, no fee, just a quick search. They have a small list of which markets use their submission portal that are currently open. Mostly, you will find their direct links in Fantasy, Horror, Science Fiction, and Speculative markets on their submissions page. A quick check shows if they are currently accepting submissions, and which type. One important aspect of #Moksha. It claims a 1,024 character limit for cover letters.

A Measure of Life (1,052 words) published in Sybil Journal. Reprint previously published in Concurrent Earths (2021). Originally published in Mirror Worlds (2019 as April D. Brown).

You can track you stories as well as income received from them. Even mark the stories as retired. There is no easy way to sort markets in personalized folders (One Chill Subs advantage), or see which markets were newly followed. I really like the notes option, and copy parts of the Scrivener market notes to them so I can see them at a glance when searching for a market for a story. There is a tiny notepad that can be hovered over to see notes at a glance.

Chill Subs is fascinating. They allow you to have a nice author profile, list multiple publications, and search for markets. They have recently added a search by newly added markets option. Which is something I had thought about requesting.
