Looking at Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the first of September and that means there are markets opening for submissions.

First is the zine Big Pulp. url to the left. They open tomorrow and take subs until the 30th.

Now the following are all print magazines and their urls are to the left in the print/anthology section. All of them are open from September 1 through the 30th:

Withersin is open to novella submissions only. This is a horror market.

Cross Genre wants you to cross sci-fi and/or fantasy with another genre. For September the theme is gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender. If that doesn't trip your writing trigger you can get a head start on October's theme which is action/adventure.

CrimeSpree is a mystery market as most of you know. With only six to twelve shorts published a year it's a hard market to crack but well worth the effort.

Comet Press extended their Dark Crimes Anthology deadline to September 15, so you better hurry if you're writing for this one.

Shock Totem is open to submissions - they forgot to change their submission page, but have since updated it.

Dropped by the Esquire site. Their contest is closed but they had 3000 entries and they've posted a few tidbits on the site. And if you haven't taken the time to drop by there, you should. They have a wonderful selection of short stories by folks like Stephen King and Daniel Woodrell.

And Rick Helms has announced that the latest issue of The Back Alley is finally up. http://www.backalleywebzine.com/ This is an all lady issue so lets have a great big Snoopy Dance for these fine writers:
