Market Day

So, in the course of clicking around the 'net I found some markets that are looking for subs from all you fine folks out there.

Over at Angie's Desk you'll find her monthly list of anthology calls. http://angiesdesk.blogspot.com/2011/05/anthology-markets.html These are mostly fantasy and erotic but you never know what will strike your creative self.

At the Essential Writers site I ran across a call for children's and YA novels from a new press called Mythmaker Publications. EW has an interview with the owners and links to their site here http://essentialwriters.com/mythmaker-publications-interview-10665.htm

And at the Femministas blog http://femministas.blogspot.com I found a call for the anthology, "With This Ring, I Bleed" from Rain Storm Press http://www.rainstormpress.com At their site I found calls for, "Whacked! An Anthology of Murder" and "Nailed: An Erotic Death Anthology" They're all looking for stories of 3000 to 7000 words, the first with an August 20 deadline. These are all non-paying except for copies. But hey, they're new crime markets. Be sure to click around the Femministas site as there's all kinds of markets that will be of interest for those who write articles from a female perspective and short story markets for everyone.

At Write Jobs I ran across an interesting call from Circlet Press for gay erotica fairy tales. Pay is $25 for 3500 to 7500 words. You can find the details and a link to Circlet Press here http://write-jobs.blogspot.com/2011/05/paying-market-modern-gay-er0tic-fairy.html

And finally from Paul Brazill we have Oomska an arts and pop culture magazine that's looking for reviewers and artists. This is a new non-paying market http://www.oomska.co.uk/?page_id=1655 This market will be of interest to UK writers especially.

Hi Sandra, just to let you know I've had to close subs again at The Flash Fiction Offensive due to the high volume of stories to be published. As you may know, I like to give all stories a good 3 days on the site before posting another so it's only a temporary closure. I'll be looking at opening again in 3-4 weeks. I'll let you know.

Thanks, Sandra.

Best,
David.

Thanks for letting us know, David! That's pretty much the same reason Spinetingler closed. Seems we've got more crime writers than we have space for :)

Can't be a bad thing, Sandra. Keep up your great work on here.
