Sure, with some footwork and elbow greats, a lot of the information Duotrope has can be recreated, but the site is so damned easy. rwwgreenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256634291144393792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438130827587164228.post-22590641525837651662012-12-14T14:38:35.792-05:002012-12-14T14:38:35.792-05:00Well, thank you Mr. Greene for this post.
