I forgot to mention this the other day when I saw it, Beat to a Pulp is closed to submissions until April 10. If I don't write things down they slip through my mind like water through a sieve.
I don't usually mention contests that charge a fee but this one is sponsored by The Writer and the Gotham Writers Workshop. The fee is $10 to enter a 2000 word short story. First prize is $1000 and a 10 week online creative writing workshop. Second is $300 and Third is $200, each with a short online course. You can find all the details at http://www.writingclasses.com/ContestPages/writer.php The deadline is May 31.
For those of you who do enjoy entering contests you can find quite a few listed at http://www.anthologiesonline.com/ just click on the March Writers Wanted button. You'll also find quite a few non-fiction anthologies listed along with several fiction calls. Anthologies Online updates their links monthly and they're a good source for a variety of markets.
And a newly discovered flash market called Fiction At Work. This is a non-paying market looking for what they call short-shorts of up to 300 words and issue submissions up to 750 words. They have their publication divided into several sections. You can find the guidelines at this link http://fictionatwork.com/subguide.aspx Oh yes, they like humorous pieces to take your mind off your job while you're at work :-)
