Can you recommend S.F/Fantasy magazine or review magazine?

[Kardien Lupus]

I want to get information and news of good books after I decide to write story. I will subscribe magazine but I don’t what is good S.F/Fantast magazine or what I want. I want to read some book reviews and news around book market. I didn’t subscribe any of magazines before. It will be my first experience of magazine. Can you recommend S.F/Fantasy magazine? I found two of magazine. http://www.fantasy-magazine.com/non-fiction/is-it-science-fiction-or-science-fantasy/ and http://www.rtbookreviews.com/ But I don’t yet decide to read either of magazines.

If you want reviews and market news, your best bet is Locus:

If you want magazines that actually publish fiction, so you can decide whether to submit to them, then there are loads to choose from. I don't write much short fiction myself, so I can't help you there.

The "big" SF/Fantasy magazines are: Asimov's, Analog, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Clarkesworld, Lightspeed, and Strange Horizons. (In no particular order.)

A more thorough listing can be found: http://www.sfwa.org/join-us/sfwa-membership-requirements/#shortfiction

Essentially, anything that qualifies for SFWA membership is considered a "big" market, but the ones listed above seem to be the best known (in my circles, anyway...which admittedly may not mean much. ;)

The best way to find if it's to your taste is to read it. ;)

Let me also suggest Daily Science Fiction as it's free and convenient. I like maybe...1/4 of the stories. Which isn't a huge percentage, but it's enough that it's worth skimming and deleting the rest.

Analog tends to do harder science fiction, Clarkesworld seems to veer towards more semi-experimental stuff (and only publishes 12 stories a year, I think?), Asimov's is more classic (although still somewhat experimental - I mean, it's part of the genre!), at least from what I can remember. Although I don't know that there are any hard and fast rules, and they all publish similar enough stuff that a story that is good enough to be accepted by one would be good enough to be published or at least strongly considered for the others.

Digital Science Fiction (http://digitalsciencefiction.com/blog/) is worth a visit and free (plus, they liked something I wrote) and Sift Book Reviews (http://www.siftreviews.com) seems to grow stronger every week (plus, they liked something I wrote).

And I second Mutive's thoughts about Daily Science Fiction (http://dailysciencefiction.com/). You can't beat the price.
