MindFlights Feature - MindFlights Picked by Writer's Market as one of 100 Best

Industry leading Writer's Digest is in the business of helping writers succeed. One of the things they do is create lists of great markets that writers should consider as a place to submit works. This year's "100 Best" list includes Double-Edged Publishing's MindFlights.

MindFlights is DEP's magazine of speculative fiction that resulted in 2007 from the merger of The Sword Review and Dragons, Knights, & Angels, two award winning publications that DEP had been running simultaneously since 2005. The merger of these two publications under the Managing Editorship of Selena Thomason resulted in a magazine that has regularly demonstrated its capacity to deliver fantasy and science fiction short stories and poems of unmatched quality.

Now, all that MindFlights is has been recognized. Writer's Digest has "compiled a list of the best markets looking for writers... [They've] whittled down thousands of markets into two lists: the 50 best magazines...and the top 50 publishers for first-time authors" (p 35). This list of the top 50 magazines includes three representing genre publishing, and MindFlights is the only speculative fiction publication in the list.

Speaking as Director for Double-Edged Publishing, I am delighted that the MindFlights team has been acknowledged by the publishing industry. It is no surprise to me, for I have long known how hard they work and how talented they are. This recognition is well deserved.

The Writer's Yearbook 2009 is on newsstands now, and the list begins on page 35, with the MindFlights write-up on page 39.
