After some consideration, I've decided to no longer update Market Finders, either here at LJ or on the forums. I've become very busy with Lilley Press and have always had a hard time finding time to update MF in a timely manner. In addition, there are other, far better market databases out there, including Duotrope and Ralan's. I will not be closing the forums or deleting the LJ at this time.

I want to thank everyone who has supported MF over the years. There is a chance I may come back to the MF LJ again sometime in the future, but, for now, I have other obligations that need my attention.



I will be cross-posting this to my personal journal and to the forums.
