Market News

Literary zine "storySouth" has opened to submissions until December 15. http://www.storysouth.com/

For those who write historical shorts you might try "Alt Hist". http://althistfiction.com/ They are looking for historical and alternate history fiction shorts of under 10,000 words. They are a print and ebook publisher with subs through Submishmash. Pay is $10 or 1 copy.

Musa Publishing is a new enterprise which started up this month. Of interest to readers here is the fact that they're also starting a new zine called "Penumbra" which is looking for shorts of 500 to 3500 words in the sci-fi, fantasy, and horror genres. Payment is 5cents a word. They also have three calls listed for special issues with themes and deadlines for stories under 3000 words. You can find details here http://musapublishing.blogspot.com/p/penumbra.html They're looking at an October 1 launch for the zine.

And for you sci-fi writers, we have Schrodinger's Mouse http://schrodingersmouse.com They're looking for stories of 2500 to 5000 words, stories under 1000 words have a flat pay rate of $15 and articles pay 2cents a word. There was no pay listed for longer stories but I think it might be the same as articles, something you'll need to check. They have a query form on their guidelines page.
