Things have been a little hectic today, so this post is coming a bit later in the day than usual.
Over at Tor.com, Caridad Pineiro has an essay on why paranormals are becoming so successful in the market place. http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/07/the-success-of-paranormals-why-is-the-genre-taking-a-big-bite-of-publishing-sales/
Southern Grit is still looking for stories for their first issue. They're looking at primarily literary stories but will look at genre stories also. This is a non-paying market for 1500 to 6000 word stories. http://www.southerngrit.org/submissions
July 21 is fast approaching and it's the deadline for Spinetingler's revenge contest. You can find the details here www.spinetinglermag.com/2010/06/21/writing-contest-pay-the-bitch-back/
Found a newish market over at Duotrope called Darker. They're looking for dark speculative fiction up to 5000 words for their Sept/Oct issue. The pay is $5 per story with the top story receiving $25. The July/Aug issue is up now so you can get a better idea of the sort of story they're looking for. http://www.darkeronline.com/
There's also a pair of interviews up that might be of interest.
The first is with Anthology Builder editor, Nancy Fulda. http://www.duotrope.com/interview.aspx?id=2654 Anthology Builder accepts only reprints and pays royalties.
And 10Flash editor, KC Ball, is interviewed. http://www.duotrope.com/interview.aspx?id=4025
10Flash is a paying quarterly flash market with themes for each issue and be sure to note the new submission dates.
