2) Electronic Submissions List part1 (Internet Writer Resource Guide)

These magazines are published monthly unless otherwise noted. The
`content' category describes the general content and requested writing.
`compensation' describes the remuneration policies (if any). `rights'
describes the rights to the material that are sold to the publisher.
`contact' is the email address of the publisher, editor, or the general
submission address.

Note: the accuracy of this list is not guaranteed. In particular, the
rights involved in a particular `sale' may be variable or negotiable.
Make sure you understand the terms of the arrangement with the
publisher. If you are interested in only certain kinds of contracts
(such as retaining the copyright, which is usual the usual case but not
guaranteed) be sure to tell the editor.
