• The Horror Tree: lists calls for submission for anthologies, novels, novellas, poetry, non-fiction, and more, in multiple genres (not limited to horror).

• QueryTracker: to find literary agents and publishers, and track your queries/submissions; best for agents, not the best tool for publishers.
