You're amazing. I'd be lost without this index.

Heh, sure seemed longer than last round. I do know it'd take half the time if I could keep from re-reading all teh drama, 'specially in dead threads. :hat:

Just a note that I've gone through the Other listings, and this time around broke out Display Sites and Submission Services into separate categories. Enjoy.

Oh, look, it's that time of year again. It'll be Agents this round, and the suggestion box is open. (Right and Proper Alphabetization is already on the agenda. :hat:)

M'kay, that took entirely too long, but 'tis done. Count stands at 1,110+ with 374 inactive (not counting the handful I sloughed off to writers' services, etc. to reflect change of business(es)). Pub count currently 1,770+, 450 inactive.

The holidays are looming, which means thoughts turn to updatin'. Publishers this time, which is always an adventure in nostalgia. :cool:

I always enjoy reading the updating progress--not sure if that's the side of me that likes to see the successes, or the bloodthirsty side ;). Thanks for doing it!

Alrighty, that does it for this round. We currently list 1950+ publishers, 687 of which are dead/inactive. (Agents: 1140+/377)

If you believe I've mislabeled (or missed labeling) something as primarily online/ebook, accepting short works, or (in)active, drop me a line.

Y'all have a Happy New Year!

Most welcome!

While I'm here, a belated note that I went through the Other stuff last month.

I've often wondered myself.
How do you use the Index (i.e. scroll or search)? Would you prefer to have stuff like on-line markets and film agencies separated from the rest? Any other suggestions? :idea:

Not sure how anyone else feels and I've not been here long but I scroll through it, checking each listing against the threads about it.

Having them categorized such as e-books vs. print vs. film would be helpful. Those who have favorable comments I put into folders that are broken down that way.

Welp, I'm getting to it horribly late this year, but I'll be culling Agents over the next week or so. Lay in your zombie apocalypse supplies while you still can. :e2chain:

Yanno, I started compiling this Index ten years ago yesterday. :Cake:

It now lists 1,160+ agents (468 inactive), 2,190+ publishers (708 inactive), and 800+ others (251 inactive).

And it is, without doubt, the single most valuable of all the valuable assets of AW. I can't tell you the number of times it's kept me from making stupid mistakes.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your hard work.

Heads-up that I'll be starting the Publisher cull this weekend. Gird your loins appropriately.
