Markets

It's been a bit crazy around here of late but I've been collecting links the past few days. I have quite a few so I'll break them into two posts. This first one is for the market links that have come my way in the last few days.

Out of Gutter http://www.outoftheguttermagazine.com has opened for submissions to their 7th issue. The theme for this one is the UK vs the US, crimes of course. There's two editors for this issue, yeah one for the UK and one for the US. There's no pay on this one but you'll usually find yourself in stellar company in this magazine plus Bookgasm reviews every issue. The deadline is July 15. Also the editor has started a new press called Gutter Books http://www.gutterbooks.com The first book out is a collection of shorts from the first three issues and they'll be looking at submissions.
