Marketing Day!

So, I've got a few markets for you today, they're mostly in the sci-fi genre but one is looking for crime stories and another is for the YA audience. I've been thinking lately that maybe more readers are leaning towards the sci-fi/fantasy genre because it allows their imaginations to go places the news and reality TV shows have stolen away from them. Just musing there.

http://libraryofthelivingdead.lefora.com This forum has listings of anthologies calls, mostly for zombie fiction but they cross the genres quite a bit. There's some low-paying markets and few non-paying.

http://www.edgewebsite.com/books/tess15/t15-catalog.html This anthology is for Canadian writers only. Tesseracts Fifteen: A Case of Quite Curious Tales is looking for sci-fi, fantasy or horror stories up to 5500 words for the young adult audience. They're open until November 30. And I forgot to check the pay, sorry!

http://samsdotpublishing.com/cosmiccrimestoriesgl.htm This is a twice annual print magazine that is looking for crimes set in space. The stories must be 3000 to 10,000 words and they accept reprints. $20 for shorts, $10 for the reprints. They're also looking for articles, interviews, and artwork. I must add here that sometimes there are statements in the guidelines that make me chuckle. "...mysteries set in space and they must be fiction" So all you folks who've been kidnapped by aliens - you're out of luck! :)

http://dailysciencefiction.com/submit/story/guidelines Daily Science Fiction has launched as of September 1. This is a sci-fi market looking for shorts of 100 to 10,000 words with a special need for flash stories. The pay here is 8cents a word, they have an online submission form.

And if you're looking for a more hi-brow market, Newpages.com has posted the September call for submissions to the literary zines. http://www.newpages.com/literary/submissions.htm

And Tales from the Moonlight Path (listed to the left in the flash market section) has gone on an "extended hiatus". Since they've published nothing since last February, I'd pretty much consider them a dead market.
