Burnt Bridge Press

I ran across this call for a Steampunk anthology from Burnt Bridge Press over at Duotrope. They're looking for stories up to 6000 words but they want Americanized steampunk. They're also looking for b&w comics. Payment is 1 copy plus 5% royalties. You can find all the details here http://burntbridge.net/steampunk-annual/

Looking around the site I found that they publish a quarterly print magazine and a monthly online zine. There are different word counts for each. Details at http://burntbridge.net/submissions

The fall print issue theme is Gridion. Which means they're looking for shorts dealing with football. Subs open on April 30 to July 31 for this one.

For the print issues they're also looking for novellas and the pay is $50 for these. I didn't find any mention of payment for the rest of the stories in the zines.

Also listed as a rolling call is "Biloxi". For this anthology they're looking for noir/gothic stories set in Biloxi.

One thing - they lean more toward the literary than genre but they also want stories that work from the genres of noir, westerns, and gothic to name a few. There are links to the online zine so you can get a feel for what they're looking for.
