This and That

I just spotted this call for submissions over at CrimeSpace. http://crimespace.ning.com/forum/topics/noir-issue-submissions Fiction editor, Allie Dresser, is looking for short stories of 50 to 2000 words for a special noir issue of Gloom Cupboard. http://gloomcupboard.com Their guidelines are here http://gloomcupboard.com/submission-guidelines If you're considering submitting, take note that the email address for the special issue is different than the one for regular subs. This is a non-paying market but they seem to have been publishing for several years now.

For those of you who write gay erotica, Dreamspinner Press has calls out for two anthologies. This is an e-publisher that pays royalties. You can check them out at http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/index.php

Paul Brazill has an interesting interview on his blog with short story writer, Patti Abbott. http://pdbrazill.blogspot.com/2010/02/criminal-masterminds-two-patti-abbot.html

With a hat tip to Bill Crider, we have an article on show and tell that focuses on the sci-fi genre. http://www.asimovs.com/_issue_1003/ref.shtml
