Duotrope's Digest

In case you don't already know, Duotrope's Digest is one of the damn finest websites around for poets and fiction writers. It's an online directory of literary magazines that publish fiction and poetry and it goes into all the details, making your life a lot easier. So you want to find a list of all journals that accept simultaneous submissions and accept electronic submissions? Easy. You want to find who has the fastest response rate? Done.

In short, the website includes all sorts of information about bazillions of different venues, as well as fascinating stats like a magazine/journals average response time, their acceptance rate, and so on. And it's free! It's a wonderful resource, and it's one we use around here at Knockout quite a bit, when we're sending out our own work.

As a matter of fact, I'm sending out work right now. (Lady rejection, here I come!)

Here's the website: http://duotrope.com/

Knockout Closed to Submissions Until #3 is out

Dear Knockout Readers,

We've been getting lots and lots of submission, which is fantastic, but Knockout is a
two-man ship. (Perhaps a dinghy?) Jeremy and I are working away at getting KO #3 to Press, and that will take up all of our efforts for the near future.

For this reason, Knockout will not be considering unsolicited submissions until February this year. Any submissions received during this period will not be read, and we'll delete them. We'll begin taking submissions again on February 1.

Thanks for the submissions and for helping make KO great.
