Two Markets and a Flash Contest

I promised to let you know when Comet Press opened for anthology submissions. Well, it has and you can find all the details at http://www.cometpress.us/guidelines/ The Extreme Creatures anthology is for short stories with a deadline of May 1. The pay is 1/2 cent per word with a $50 max. The Extreme Zombie anthology wants novelettes and novellas with a July 1 deadline. Same pay but with a $150 max.

Flyleaf Press is looking for short stories featuring lesbian identified sorceresses, witches, magicians or any other magic users. They're looking for stories of 3000 to 8000 words but you must query first to submit your story between February 15 and May 15. They pay royalties based on word count. http://drolleriepress.com/drollerie/submit/open-anthologies/flyleaf-press/

***This is a later addition to the post. Drollerie Press has other imprints besides FlyLeaf Press that also have submission openings you can find links to those calls at http://drolleriepress.com/drollerie/submit/open-anthologies/

You gotta have a gimmick, I guess. What musical was that from?

You seem to need a gimmick to sell anything these days, Patti.

You're welcome, Gay! I discovered the first contest too late to post about it, so I was glad to find this one just when it started. Not sure if I'll be able to come with a story or not, but I'll probably give it a try.
