Special Note to SFWA Members:
Jason Stevan Hill of Choice of Games LLC has announced that he is looking for new authors, and “SFWA members in particular,” to write interactive novels — (multiple-choice textual games) in the style of Choice of the Dragon and Choice of Broadsides.
Jason says, “Our games are like ‘choose a path’ gamebooks, but longer, deeper, and richer. They are written according to a distinctive set of game design principles.”

The SFWA Market Report is compiled by David Steffen, who is the editor of Diabolical Plots magazine. He also operates the Submission Grinder, which helps writers to find markets for their work and to share anonymized market response times. Keep an eye out for the Kickstarter campaign for The Long List Anthology 2: More Stories From the Hugo Award Nomination List, which should launch some time in September, and check out the first Long List Anthology if you want to know more about the concept.
