KC Ball, editor of 10Flash, has asked me to announce that she's open for submissions to the October issue. Each issue has a theme and this one is "Two men, one of them wounded, flee pursuit following a botched bank robbery." This is a flash zine but the top word count is 1000 and pay is a penny a word. You can find the guidelines here http://10flash.wordpress.com/guidelines/ The very first issue will be going live on July 1.
I found another flash market called Six Little Things. Their top word count is 250 and they're seeking submissions for their next issue. Also themed, "the unannounced guest", with an August 30 deadline. This looks like a very literary site, you'll find the guidelines here http://www.sixbrickspress.com/front/sixlittle.html
Flashfire 500 is going on hiatus for the summer so they're closed to submissions until the fall, but the site will remain open for reading.
Shroud magazine is sponsoring a flash contest, the top six stories to appear in issue #7. They want 500 words or less based on a news story you'll find at the link on their blog site http://shroudpublishing.blogspot.com/2009/06/shroud-magazine-news-of-weird-flash.html
They're also open to regular submission until June 30. url to the left in the print column.
And Jason Evans over at the Clarity of Night blog has posted the picture for his 11th contest which will open on July 8 for flash pieces of 250 words or less. You can check out the details and the photograph here http://clarityofnight.blogspot.com/2009/06/very-special-clarity-of-night-contest.html and get a head start on writing your piece.

Sandra, you're amazing to find all these places in which to submit writing. Thank you once again.
I have fun looking for new market and passing along the information, Barbara. Besides, if I didn't do the links, I'd actually have to think of something to say on this blog! :-))
Thanks for that. Some good stuff there.
