With a huge thank you to Naomi Johnson we have an anthology call from Michael Knost. http://michaelknost.blogspot.com/2010/08/new-anthology-guidelines.html His newest anthology is "The Mothman Files" to be published by Woodland Press. He needs fictional mothman stories up to 3000 words. The pay is 5 cents a word plus a copy. And you have plenty of time to research and work on this one, the deadline is July 1, 2011
****Patti was wondering what the Mothman was so I'm putting a link to an article that pretty much explains the original. Where you take your story is up to you. If you google Mothman you'll find all sorts of articles. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/723207/the_true_story_behind_the_mothman_of.html?cat=16
Over at Duotrope I found two new print magazines looking to launch. Desert Rose Fiction is looking for stories that "move" them. 1000 to 5000 words and the pay is 5cents a word with a $250 cap. They will be publishing once yearly so it will be more an anthology than a magazine at this point. You can find the details at http://desertrose.astrapublications.com/submissions.htm
The second is Atomic Chipmunk. They're looking for speculative fiction of 750 to 6000 words. The pay here is 6cents a word. This is a print publication. You can find the details at http://atomicchipmunk.astrapublications.com/guidelines.htm

Help me here. What is a mothman story? I vaguely remember a movie with that word in it.
I'm not sure either, Patti, except it's some kind of mythic creature. This article might help, it's the best of those I found in a quick search.

I'll put that link on the front page, it will make it easier to click.
Too bad that I am too lazy to write a story to that specific a content. Thanks so much for clarifying it.
You're welcome, but you know, you have almost a year to reconsider. Could be interesting writing a story with six foot tall winged creatures with glowing red eyes, creepy old guys, men in black and UFO's to choose from :)
