January seems to be the month that great ideas are born for new zines. Of course, they don't always pan out but the ones that do, well, we love them to death. Duotrope has quite a few fledgling zines listed but these two seemed most suited to readers of this blog.
"Circus of the Damned" is a non-paying market looking for horror stories of 1000 to 3500 words. You can check out the details and take a look at this new zine here http://damnedpublishing.blogspot.com/
"Rollicking Tales: Pulp Stories for the 21st Century", a UK based publication, is looking for shorts of 2000 to 20,000 words in all the genres. Payment is shared royalties. There's also a call for an anthology here titled "The Farmers Almanac" looking for shorts centered around farming communities (from cattle ranching in the old west to future farming on far away planets) The deadline for this one is December 31, 2012 with publication in 2013. You can check out the zine and the anthology at http://www.rollicking-tales.co.uk/
Silver Boomer Books isn't a new enterprise but they do have two new anthology calls for non-fiction essays with payment of $10 plus a copy. And three on-spec anthologies. You can find the details at http://silverboomerbooks.com/sbb/wp/for-writers/
