Market Notes

Just a reminder that today is the start of the Clarity of Night flash contest. Submissions of 250 words will be accepted until July 28. The rules for posting stories have changed this year, so be sure to read through the guidelines. You can find all the details at http://clarityofnight.blogspot.com

And there's only two days left to get your entry into Spinetingler's revenge contest as their deadline is July 21. http://www.spinetinglermag.com

A new e-publisher has been passing along calls on the SMFS board. Untreed Reads is looking for Steampunk stories of over 5000 words for one anthology and Thanksgiving stories for the other. This is a royalty paying market. You can find the details and a list of other calls here http://www.untreedreads.com/?cat=64 and their home page is http://www.untreedreads.com This looks like it could turn into a great market for short stories. They're also looking for single author sci-fi, mystery, and fantasy submissions.

There's not a lot going on market wise, I guess everyone is on vacation.

I wish I could get the knack of writing stories that short. So far, lousy. I need to channel some poet, I guess.

That's all I used to write, Patti, now I find myself getting longer and longer. It's hard to go back, too!

BTW, UNTREED READS is the epublisher looking at our anthology, now called DISCOUNT NOIR. I think it's going to happen.

That's great, Patti! and I love the new title.
