Monday Morning Markets

I haven't posted very many YA markets but this weekend has sent two markets my way.

The first came via Paul Brazill. Rebel Books out of the UK has a call for submissions for two anthologies. The first is looking for stories with a supernatural theme. This one has a November 30 deadline. The second is looking for Faerie stories with a February 28, 2010 deadline. There's a third call for a children's anthology, age 7 and up, with a magical theme and a May 31, 2010 deadline. Their guidelines say there's a 3500 word max and they pay royalties. http://rebelbookspublishing.co.uk/submissions.aspx

The second I found at Ralan.com called YA Literature Review. They have an online zine but are looking to launch a print version in January. The pay is $5 to $10 for flash, shorts, and poetry. They're also looking for reviews and non-fiction. http://www.yaliteraturereview.com/submissions.html

I might have posted a link to this one before but with the December 15 deadline approaching, it's worth another link. Science Fiction Trails is a once a year print magazine looking for short stories of 1000 to 7000 words with pay of $10 plus a copy. They're looking for western stories that use sci-fi elements. Think the Wild Wild West and the Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr. here. http://www.sciencefictiontrails.com/whats_new.html

The lovely ladies at Women of Mystery have posted news of a new flash market called 50 -1. This one is looking for 50 word stories or first lines. You can find the details at http://50-to-1.blogspot.com This is a non-paying market.

Thanks for the YA markets, Sandra. There doesn't seem to be a lot of them and with the popularity of the Twilight series and teens being the texting generation, I wonder why?

I haven't actively searched for YA markets, Conda. I just happened upon these. The 5-minute Mysteries are for young people and over at Ralan you can find YA sci-fi and fantasy markets but they're mixed with the adult markets. I checked Duotrope and they don't have them separated out either. Not sure if there's a listing anywhere for YA markets or not.
