YA and XXX

Just a head's up that Newpages.com has listed the August calls for submissions. http://www.newpages.com/literary/submissions.htm

Among the list of calls is one for Canadian writers of YA fiction. This is for novel writers, not shorts, but I know there are a few of you who write YA fiction and its hard to find markets. Anyhoo the publishing company is Formac-Lorimer and here's what they're looking for http://www.formac.ca/formac-lorimer/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=153 Remember you must be a Canadian writer to submit here.

Also listed was Freaky Fountain Press who is looking for literary erotica with a dark edge. They don't mind cannibalism or sex with dead people, basically it seems to be horror erotica. They have a call out for two anthologies Http://www.freakyfountain.com/?page_id=26 They are an e-publisher and the pay is 25% of the net royalties. 2000 to 8000 words with a December 1 deadline. The titles are: "This is the Way the World Ends" and "Bad Romance". They also accept shorts for their monthly showcase of 1000 to 5000 words. The pay for these is a copy of an anthology of your choice and possible inclusion in an anthology at a later time. You'll find more details at the link. This seems to be a fairly new press, so take a few minutes to check out the site. Something you should do no matter where you submit!
