There is also a Markets section which offers “listings of agents, literary magazines and publishers, as well as family/parenting and children’s magazines”, and a section on Self-Publishing success tips.

You can also visit the magazine’s website. According to The Sullivan Library’s online catalog, we have access to the magazine from 1991 onwards (the back issues are on microfilm).
