Market News

Just pulled my head out of the keyboard and discovered that I haven't been here for a few days. Yikes!! To make up for my disappearing act, I've found a few market links that might be of interest.

http://www.kerlakpublishing.com/storycall.html I've mentioned Kerlak's Steampunk anthology call before. This is a paying market, $20, and the deadline is March 31 so if you're working on a story for this one you'd better toss a little coal of the fire and pump up the steam pressure, there's not a whole lot of time left.

If you have a published vampire story hiding in your drawer, there's a new press, Books of the Dead Press, looking for reprints to publish in an anthology called "Best New Vampire Tales". They're looking for stories under 10,000 words and the pay is a penny a word. The deadline for submitting is April 30. You can find all the details at http://booksofthedead.blogspot.com/2010/03/best-new-vampire-tales-vol-1.html

The online zine Horror Bound is looking for submissions for their new anthology called "Fear of the Dark". Stories should investigate the human fear of the unknown, the dark and the common themes found in nightmares. The submission period is March 5 to December 1 for 1500 to 5500 word stories. The pay is a penny a word CAN. You can find the details at http://www.horrorbound.com/news.php?readmore=98

Publisher, Lida Quillen, left a note about the FMAM anthology on the FMAM group stating that if you've had no response to your query or submission by March 20 feel free to send it elsewhere.

Probably most of you have heard about "Needles" the new print crime magazine that's the brain child of Steve Weddle and John H. Jacobs. There's no guidelines or calls for submissions, so I'm guessing that their first issue will be invitation only. You can find out about this new zine here http://bastardizedversion.blogspot.com/2010/03/inimitable-steve-weddle-and-i-have-been.html
