Does anyone have any good advice on short story markets that accept simultaneous submissions?
I have a science fiction story just returned today, and I'm thinking about sending it right back out to several places. Most of the big names do not accept simo, it seems, so submitting stuff to them means figuring out what to send to whom. But I would like to get some material out to a wider range, and now that many people are accepting simultaneous submissions, I would like to take advantage of that.
So any advice on which markets are good, or personal experience with them would be most helpful.
My immediate question has to do with markets that accept SF&F material, but I also have mainstream fiction stories that I will be shopping around shortly as well.
Thanks!
Added Postscript: What I'm really trying to do here is to spark a discussion about simultaneous submissions, including pointers and pitfalls from people who have tried it, or even better, editors on the other end. So that would include questions such as: do editors really mean it when they say they accept simultaneous submissions? is it required to inform them on a cover letter? does it hurt your chances if they do know? That sort of thing.
