I would be remiss not to mention that Futures is looking for short stories for their first yearly anthology. Futures is short for Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine. Once upon a time they were a well respected mystery magazine publishing many newcomers and old hands at the short mystery. The magazine has folded but the online site still publishes reviews. On August 15 they opened for subs to the new anthology. They're looking for stories in the 5000 to 15,000 range with a flat rate per word to be determined at a later date. http://www.fmam.biz/index.shtml is the url, just scroll down a bit. Be advised that when doing the last couple of issues of the magazine they were very slow in responding and publishing, that's not to say that will be the case here, it's just an advisement based on my dealings with them in the past.
Warrior Wisewoman 3 will open to subs on September 1 with a January 15, 2010 deadline. They're taking stories up to 10,000 words and the pay is 2cents a word. You can find all the details here http://www.norilana.com/norilana-ww-guidelines.htm

Hey tell people about your story at PULP PUSHER. Please. You are allowed to talk about yourself once in a while.
Whoops I see it now, but way at the bottom. Put it at the top next time.
I did, Patti. I posted a link in the Idea Breeding post. But I really do hate talking about myself.
We must be typing at the same time :-)
Sandra, Thanks for the FMAM info. Their website says to check their submissions page on 8/15 for more details (beyond what's on the main page), but I don't see any more info. (What I see says they are closed to submissions.) Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place ...
No, Barb, what's on the front page is all that's up so far and that's all that's been posted to the FMAM yahoo group by the editor.
Since you're supposed to send the story to a new address (twilight times books) other than the one in the guidelines, perhaps they won't bother to update that page.
Personally, I think the editor has too many irons in the fire to keep up with Futures. The last issue they published took two years to get into print. Perhaps working through her publishing company though things might be more organized this time out.
