ABOUT SPECFICWORLD.COM

SpecFicWorld was formerly known as The Worlds of Fantasy in 1994 and re-named to SpecFicWorld in 1999 to accommodate all three speculative genres (science fiction, fantasy, and horror). Since then the site has become one of the top websites for both speculative fiction fans and writers. Inside you'll find thousands of helpful links to several publications and resources from around the globe.

SpecFicWorld was created for aspiring speculative fiction writers to help them find the right markets, literary agents, and resources to help them sale and market their work.  We also provide low cost advertising for authors and publishers with an interest in the speculative genres. And we are proud to admit that every advertising dollar earned goes directly back into the operation of the site, paying our authors (which so far we've published over a hundred writers), and advertising the site.

SpecFicWorld receives around one hundred and fifty thousand visitors each month and our core audience is geared towards the speculative genres.

SpecFicWorld also publishes Rogue Worlds Magazine, and the SpecFicMe! Market Newsletter (now the SpecFicMe Market Database). In 2006 we launched our Quick Guide to Literary Agents and it has quickly become our bestseller. And in 2007 we launched our Quick Guide to Book Publishers and Quick Guide to Short Story Markets.

Each year we also publish a variety of fiction and poetry collections as well. And Rogue Worlds was recently mentioned in The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror (edited by Datlow and Windling) and our very first anthology collection, Thorns of Nature, made it on the preliminary ballot of the 2003 Stoker Awards. And we followed that up with another appearance on the 2004 preliminary ballot of the Stoker Awards with October Rush.

And in a continual effort to help aspiring writers find some added income we will launch SpecFicWorld's Featured Fiction section in late 2007.  And each year we have an Annual Speculative Fiction Contest, open to both published and unpublished writers, offering them a chance to win $300 in cash prizes, plus publication.
