Market News

I have a link over there on the left to Poets & Writers online website. They run their classified ads from the print journal on the site which contains links to anthologies, magazines, contests, and a variety of other things of interest to writers. http://www.pw.org/classifieds

While scrolling through the classifieds I found "Fried Fiction". I'd forgotten about this market but I've added a link over to the left. This is a market for serial fiction in all the genres. There's quite a few stories up for your reading pleasure. The pay here is $25 for the first entry in your series only. This entry should be 1000 words or less, how long the serial continues is up to you. You can find more details and how to submit at http://www.friedfiction.com/

Over at Duotrope this morning I found a link to a new print zine called "Sword & Saga Magazine" This is a non-paying market for stories of 2000 to 6000 words, though they did mention credit, which I assume is toward the purchase of items from their press. But that's not all!

Sword & Saga Press also has an anthology call for a Sci-fi and Fantasy Cookbook which will include both recipes and short stories. The pay is $3 per recipe and $15 for shorts of 2000 to 7000 words. And there's an "End of the World" writing contest. The deadline is September 30 and there's cash prizes, but there is a $5 entry fee. You can find all the details at http://www.swordandsagapress.com/for-writers.html

Also Dark Recesses zine is open for submissions. http://www.darkrecesses.com/submissions They're looking for horror and dark fiction stories of 500 to 5000 words. And they're a paying market. $10 for flash, 1100 to 2500 words get $20 and over 2500 receive $30.
