Hello guys, I'm new to this board!
I've done some market research myself, but I haven't really found anything. The thing is, normally I'm a non-fiction and adult fiction writer, but I've published a bit of children's stuff, as well. But I've also written a collection of folklore-stylized fairy stories (folklore studies being part of my profession), just as a personal challenge, and a few days ago, one of them won a fairy-tale writing competition in my country . So all my writing buddies started this "oh, you really need to get them all published" thing. I sat down and did some research but I haven't really come up with anything. I don't think a market for this kind of thing actually exists, what do you think? Have you ever come across any mags or publishers that publish fairy-tale stylizations by modern authors (not remakes of traditional stories)? Somehow I don't think so.
Thank you very much!
