Welcome to the monthly market report brought to you via a collaboration between Dream Foundry and the Submission Grinder. You can check here for new reports and an archive of past ones, or sign up to receive them in your inbox through our Market Report Newsletter.

To be included here, each market must meet The Submission Grinder’s standards for a full listing, minimal standards for payment set by Dream Foundry, and publish speculative fiction or poetry. We may be making tweaks to the inclusion/exclusion criteria in the coming months to ensure we’re meeting our goal of including markets that meet our basic standards for professionalism in their business practices. Inclusion in this list is not an endorsement. If you have reason to believe a market doesn’t meet a basic threshold for professionalism, please report that to The Submission Grinder. If you think there’s an issue with the criteria used to curate the list, reach out to us here at Dream Foundry.

Speaking of market opportunities, the Dream Foundry contests for Emerging Artists and Emerging Writers are currently open for submissions! Submit your portfolio or short story before June 8 for a chance at cash prizes and getting a special showcase at Flights of Foundry.
