Everyone seems to be looking for sex these days, at least in their short stories. Scalped Magazine has posted the theme for their Winter issue:
"We are looking specifically for writing and artwork of a sexual nature, but not merely sex in literature, erotica literature, or erotica artwork – but work of a sexual nature that is in itself grotesque or at the very least relatively appalling. We want sexual degeneration and sexual distortion."
The deadline for submissions is November 21st. http://www.scalpedmagazine.com/index.html If you stop by the site be sure to check out their gallery. They have an amazing art exhibition there, just run your cursor over the pictures to enlarge them.
Kerlak Publishing on the other hand is looking for stories for their new Steampunk Anthology. They're looking for stories up to 9,000 words with a payment of $20. The deadline for this one is March 31, 2010. You can find all the details and an explanation of steampunk here http://www.kerlakpublishing.com/storycall.html
And if you're longing to be rid of the day job, you might want to read this essay by Greg vonEekhart called "The Mirror Don't Lie." before you take that leap. http://magicdistrict.wordpress.com/2009/08/24/the-mirror-dont-lie/
We started with sex, so we'll end with "Sex and Murder". Their September issue is now up. You'll find the url to the left.
