Yesterday's Links

Ah, the sweet buzz of the Internet! I lost my server yesterday for some reason, so after climbing down off the walls, here's your linkage that I had prepared for yesterday.

BTaP opened for submissions this week. http://www.beattoapulp.com/

Editor, Anthony Neil Smith has put out a call for a special October issue of Plots with Guns. He's looking Horror stories, to be more exact, slashers with guns. Stories under 5000 words with an early September deadline. You can find all the details here http://anthonyneilsmith.typepad.com/crimedog_one_the_internet/2010/04/plots-with-guns-special-issue-call-for-submissions-new-slashers.html

If you're interested in ebook publishing you might want to check out Eternal Press. No, they're not a Christian based press, they're looking for erotica among other things. The list is long and includes mystery and young adult. The submission call went out for stories of 20,000 to 140,000 words. They're paying 40% royalties on net profits for ebooks and 25% on net for print books. You can find more details and check out the press here http://www.eternalpress.biz/submissions.php

And Needle Magazine has opened for submissions. You can find their guidelines at http://needlemag.wordpress.com/guidelines Be sure to check out the site because there's been a great deal of discussion taking place about publishing and how to pay authors on the site.

And with a hat tip to Michael Bracken, we have a couple of links to some editor's thoughts about professionalism in submitting.
