It's been a hectic week around here but I do have a bit of market news for you.
Pill Hill Press has added another contest and several more anthology calls to their submission page. http://www.pillhillpress.com/open-submissions.html
Blood Bound Books has also added a couple more anthology calls http://www.bloodboundbooks.net/submissions.html
Black Matrix Publications is still looking for submissions for their various print magazines. http://www.blackmatrixpub.com
Not One of Us print magazine has just published a new issue and is looking for subs for their next http://not-one-of-us.com/guidelines.php
The First Line print magazine has listed their first sentences for next years issues http://www.thefirstline.com
The above markets are paying markets but mostly at the low end of the pay scale.
PodCastle is looking for fantasy stories for their podcasts. They prefer reprints from paid markets, the pay here is $100 for shorts from 2000 - 6000 words and $20 for flash stories up to 1000 words. The group that does these podcasts also do EscapePod for sci-fi stories and PseudoPod for horror stories with the same pay. You can find the links to both of these sites along with PodCastle's guidelines here http://podcastle.org/guidelines
You can now pre-order issue six of Out of the Gutter here http://outoftheguttermagazine.blogspot.com
WellToldTales.com has closed to submissions due to a backlog of stories. This is a podcast site and their url is to the left if you'd like to check out their site and listen to some stories.
Big Ole Face Full of Monster has been declared dead by both Duotrope and Ralan. Also NVF Mag has closed due to lack of submissions. Both markets that I'd just posted a few months ago. I wish there was some way of knowing if a market was going to stick around or not.
And don't forget that tomorrow is Patti's Flash Challenge, so get your reading glasses ready, there'll be lots of good stories for your reading pleasure.

Yes, you never know what markets will make it--I've had short stories sold, the contract signed, the anthology about to go to press--and the publisher folds. Very frustrating!
It is frustrating, Conda. And all I can do is post the markets and hope they hang around for a year or two at least.
