Inclusion of a market, contest, anthology or similar is not necessarily an endorsement. It is strongly suggested that you do your own legwork in checking out any markets etc you decide to approach. If you feel wary or uncomfortable, there's probably a reason!

* It is highly recommended that you research publishers (and agents) before submitting to them.  You can do this by going to Preditors and Editors, Absolute Write Watercooler, Piers Anthony, or Writers Weekly Whispers and Warnings.
