A Pair of Markets

If you're interested in the ebook market you might want to check out Sonar4 Publications. http://www.sonar4publications.com/ They publish novels, novellas, and short story collections paying a small advance plus royalties for sci-fi and horror. Also they've got four open submission calls for anthologies http://www.sonar4publications.com/anthology.html The topics are Steampunk, Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper, and for our western writers, Wild West Horror. You'll find all the details at the link. I didn't happen to find any mention of pay for the anthologies so that's something you'll have to inquire about. Sonar4 also sponsors a free mentoring group for new writers if you'd like to check that out. Just a late added note here, I found the anthology payment which is one print copy of the anthology you're in.

I also ran across a site called Wily Writers who are looking for speculative fiction short stories. They have a list of what they're looking for and one is paranormal mysteries. They publish two stories a month in both audio and text format with monthly reading periods and themes for 2010. The themes aren't listed yet, except for January which is paranormal romance, so you'll have to check back if you're interested in submitting. They only want work from previously published writers and they do accept reprints. Stories must be 1000 to 4000 words long and they pay a flat rate of $50. You can find the details at http://www.wilywriters.com/blog/?page_id=1234
