List of SF markets which buy reviews
This list was compiled by Ada Hoffmann and posted in the comments, but it’s worth making a separate entry for it. Thank you Ada! This is exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for.
I’ve added some formatting, and I should probably take the time to add links to the magazine names as well…
So far the list only includes English-language markets that also publish speculative fiction. (Are there any markets that do not buy spec fic but buy spec fic reviews? I don’t know of any offhand, and they are not in Duotrope.)
