Markets

With a hat tip to BV Lawson over at In Reference to Murder we have "Short Sharp Shock" which publishes novella length short stories of 20,000 to 35,000 words. The pay is $20CAN and 1 copy of the POD your story is published in. You have to query first before submitting to this market. You can find all the details at http://s3digest.blogspot.com And if you haven't dropped by BV's blog, you really should. The place is packed with all kinds of mystery related links and articles. http://inreferencetomurder.typepad.com/my_weblog/

And Paul Brazill was busy filling my inbox with markets yesterday. Thanks, Paul!!

Pill Hill Press has listed several more anthologies to their growing list and there are a few deadlines looming for those with stories about ready to go. You can check out all the details at http://www.pillhillpress.com There is a mix of both paying and non-paying calls here.

A while back I told you about the Ransom anthology that I spotted over at darkmarkets.com. I'd only found a link to a forum board so I cautioned you to check them out. Well, they now have a site with more details http://sites.google.com/a/wickedeastpress.com/wicked-east-press/open-submissions This is a non-paying anthology.

And last is a flash contest with a fast approaching deadline of April 16. They're looking for terrifying fiction that reflects 21st century life in 500 words or less. The ten winning stories will be published in "Black Static" and also done in podcasts. You can find all the details at http://campaignforrealfear.wordpress.com/faq
