Magazine/Webzine News:
NEW:
DAILY SCIENCE FICTION (http://dailysciencefiction.com/) is a new PROZINE paying 8 cents/word:
From http://dailysciencefiction.com/submit/story/guidelines
by way of http://dailysciencefiction.com/submit (the website is not straightforward, and formatting guidelines are a separate link, as are the art submitting guidelines and the art formatting guidelines):
Story Submission Guidelines (http://dailysciencefiction.com/submit/story/guidelines):
Daily Science Fiction (DSF) is a market accepting speculative fiction stories from 100 to 10,000 words in length. By this we mean science fiction, fantasy, slipstream, etc. All that fits under the broader science fiction umbrella. We have a special need for flash fiction.
We pay 8 cents per word for first worldwide rights and for nonexclusive reprint rights. Additionally, we reserve the right to pay you more money for additional reprinting in themed Daily Science Fiction anthologies.
This sounds simple, but in today's fractured fiction market it is anything but. Here's what we mean by first worldwide rights: Your story will be distributed by e-mail to our (free) subscription list, it will then be available on the website, via RSS, eventually through kindle and iphone/ipad (the "issue" consisting of all stories published during its calendar month), and as archived on the DailyScienceFiction.com website. The nonexclusive reprint rights are anticipated to apply to the omnibus volume of DSF's stories for one year. Themed anthologies are anticipated to consist of 50-100% material originally published on DailyScienceFiction.com, plus additional materials as contracted. For these anthologies, payment will be 5 cents per word.
Helpful Hints from Putative Editors
* We love long fiction. We look forward to reading your novelettes, your long short stories and your other novelties. However, if you want to get published in Daily Science Fiction, brevity may better serve your purposes. We need flash fiction, and a lot of it. Among our featured stories, a shorter tale will get an extra nudge on the scale when weighed against a longer one. This is both for financial reasons and because we anticipate that it will match the preferences of a plurality of our readership. Not fair? Perhaps. Consider yourself forewarned.
* Of course, we want your stories to ooze originality, but a well-written story is a must. We are dedicated to character-driven fiction, and quite prosaic in our expectation that most stories we publish will in fact have a discernible plot. Wow us, make us care, create a conflict and resolve it. Send us a great story that fits into speculative fiction and we'll be salivating to publish it.
* We may purchase dark fantasy, but will not publish pure horror. We don't mind feeling the flush of subtle arousal, but will not publish erotica. Guns a-blazing might make our day, but we don't suspect most military SF will win us over. Humor? It often works for flash fiction, but often one alien's funny bone is located near another species' sac of indifference. We're likely not your best market for longer funny tales. Don't be witless, but don't rely on a pun or a punchline to sell to DSF.
* We don't accept multiple or simultaneous submissions, but we promise to be as prompt as possible with our responses. Query if you haven't heard back in three weeks.
Formatting guidelines from http://dailysciencefiction.com/submit/story/formatting:
Story Formatting Guidelines:
* Stories must be submitted as plain text via our web form. If a story is accepted for publication, we'll contact you to incorporate any formatting, layout, and illustrations.
* Stories must be 100 to 10,000 words long.
* Please write "End" at the end of your story, so we can be certain the entire story came through.

Guidelines for PULP EMPIRE: 21st Century Pulp Fiction ([e-mail, submissions(at)pulpempire.com; URL, http://www.pulpempire.com; Submissions Editor: Nick Ahlhelm):
"Pulp Empire has one goal and that is to recreate the greatness of classic pulp fiction through a Web magazine and print journal. Pulp fiction encompasses multiple genres from crime fiction to sci-fi to heroic fantasy to westerns to so much more. The goal is to make great narrative fiction with a strong pulp sensibility. We want action. We want excitement. We don't want character studies. We don't want tales of normal every day life.
"We offer limited editorial interference. That means we will not try to influence how your story is written, but it also means we expect a polished draft. The pulps could be lurid at times, but gratuitous profanity or sex needs to be limited. Think the equivalent of a PG-13 or TV-14 rating when you write your stories.
"We are interested in continuing characters. One of the most exciting parts of the pulps for many was the ongoing adventures of their favorite characters: Doc Savage, The Shadow, The Avenger, or the Green Lama. We will publish new stories every couple of weeks. This allows us to easily feature recurring characters in multiple stories. We have no restrictions on how often a recurring figure should appear on Pulp Empire. It is by no means necessary, but if you wish to use a recurring figure in your stories, we strongly encourage it.
"Any time period is acceptable for your characters to live in. We are not restrictive to a 1920s–1950s setting.
"Several different classic pulp fiction characters now exist in the public domain. We will consider stories featuring these characters for publication as well. However, some characters may already be fixed to one author. However, many public domain characters may be available for common usage for several different writers. Further guidelines based on some of these characters will be forthcoming at a later date. Please query us before offering any submissions featuring classic pulp characters."
LENGTH – 15,000 words, "but we will consider longer or shorter stories.
"Serials are not encouraged but are acceptable. We ask that serials range to no more than six chapters as any longer will crowd out others in the anthology format. All serials must be completed in advance of publication.
"Pulp Empire will consider reprinted work, but any reprint material must be clearly marked as such ahead of time.
"By submitting to Pulp Empire you certify that your work is wholly written by the given author.
"Pulp Empire buys First Electronic and First North American print rights. You retain all copyright and reprint rights. Stories will remain online for approximately three months while print versions will remain in print in perpetuity.
"Pulp Empire will pay authors a percentage of print profits based per story on the number of contributors/stories in a given issue, usually in a range between 4% and 10%, determined by page count in the final volume. Back-issue sales will continue to be paid at the same percentage as initially established in perpetuity, through its life in a print format. Payments will be distributed on a quarterly basis. We prefer the use of PayPal for monies distribution.
"Pulp Empire considers all stories from all writers, regardless of experience or resume. We ask that you submit all stories as an RTF attachment to submissions(at)pulpempire.com. Please also include a short biography (including publishing history and a picture if available."
REVIEWS: "Pulp Empire accepts reviews to be posted on our site of all pulp and pulp-related material, whether it be in print, comic, film, audio, or elsewhere. Please submit all reviews to submissions(at)pulpempire.com with the words ‘Review/’ followed by the submission title in the Subject line.
"Reviews offer no pay."
NOTE: "We are a rather small press right now so funds are limited, but we really are trying to become a viable market for new pulp fiction publishing. Please check us out and submit if you're interested.
"The deadline for Volume Two is June 15, 2010, but we will continue to accept submissions for volume three after that time. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask them."

UPDATE:
CLARKESWORLD MAGAZINE has updated its guidelines for NONFICTION:
We're looking for some good non-fiction pieces. 10 cents a word, up to 2500 words. Details here:
http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/nonfictionguidelines/
Non-Fiction Guidelines
Clarkesworld Magazine is looking for articles of interest to readers of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. We are looking for a wide range of types of article including, but not limited to: discussions of the genre publishing business, essays on the writing process and the reading experience, scientific material that might be of use in SF stories, and so on. However, please see below for things that we don’t want. We pay 10¢ a word up to our word limit of 2500 words.
Please do not send completed articles. Instead send a query letter with the subject header.
NONFICTION QUERY: [title or concept] to nonfiction@clarkesworldmagazine.com. There are no response times. We will generally only respond to queries we wish to follow-up on. A follow-up email should not be taken as a guarantee of publication.
There are two common types of non-fiction article that we are specifically not interested in receiving queries for. These are:
1. Reviews – if you want to write a critical article such as you might see in NYRSF, that’s a different matter, but we don’t publish reviews;
2. Interviews – we do publish interviews, but they are handled separately from the non-fiction articles and are generally commissioned.
As with any field, there are some subjects that have been done to death, or which don’t work well in practice. The following list should give you an idea of the sort of thing that is unlikely to make it out of the slush pile:
1. Explanations as to why your favorite genre or sub-genre is the best ever, and everything else is rubbish – because the chances are that most people won’t share your opinion;
2. Anything that attempts to categorize genre literature – yes, we have a lot of geeky analytical readers, but the chances of your coming up with something genuinely innovative are very low indeed;
3. Convention reports – because all too often they end up sounding like “what I did on my holidays”, and anyway we are not interested in the process of convention running;
4. Articles about why a certain set of awards “got it wrong” – because no one ever agrees with award results;
5. Articles about why someone is WRONG on the Internet and how we must organize a grass roots campaign to stop this perfidy – because we are not a blog and with our production schedules everyone will have forgotten about the issue by the time we publish your rant;
6. Anything that you wrote for an academic journal – we are quite happy to receive academic pieces, and you can even include footnotes if you want, but please remember that you are not writing for an academic audience so your style has to be adapted accordingly;
7. Articles that purport to provide 10 rules for success/failure in a particular endeavor – because no set of rules fits everyone, real life isn’t that simple, and in any case if you shoe-horned your advice into a “magic” number like 10 then you’ve probably either left something important out or padded the list;
8. Your personal experience of alien abduction – because then it would not be science fiction, would it?
9. Articles that make sweeping generalizations on the basis of a few personal observations – it may well be that the market for fantasy is the worst it has ever been, and that this is all the fault of global capitalism and the Internet, but you need to supply some data to back that up, and explain why “ever been” does not include the time before the publication of The Lord of the Rings;
10. Details of the heinous and all-pervasive plot by the publishing industry that has prevented your blockbuster 10-volume fantasy trilogy from being published – because the chances are that it is you that is out of step, not the rest of the world.
And yes, we know that’s a list of 10 things. We’ve probably left something out. So before sending your query, think: is this something that a lot of people will enjoy reading about, and do you know enough about the subject the make a credible and convincing argument?

HORROR LIBRARY Volume 5
Call for Submissions
CUTTING BLOCK PRESS is pleased to announce that beginning June 1, 2010, it will open for submissions for the 5th Volume of its Horror Anthology Series, Horror Library, to be published in trade paperback during 2011.
We're looking for the highest quality examples of all forms of Dark Fiction, running the gamut from traditional horror, supernatural, speculative, psychological thriller, dark satire, including every point between and especially beyond. No Fantasy or Sci-fi unless the horror elements are dominant. Read Horror Library Volumes 1-4 to see what's already pleased us. Special consideration will be given those pieces that we find profoundly disturbing, though blood and violence on their own won't cut it. While we will consider tales of vampires, ghosts and zombies, we tend to roll our eyes at ordinary ones. They're just too plentiful. Your best bet is to surprise us with something that is different, while well conceived and tightly executed.
Guidelines:
Stories will range between 1,000 and 6,000 words, though we'll look at longer works of exceptional merit. In that case, query before submission. Buying 1st worldwide anthology rights. No reprints, No Simultaneous Submissions, No Multiple Submissions. Paying 1.5 cents word, plus one contributors copy. For established authors, rates may be negotiable. Response time: six months or sooner. Deadline: We will accept submissions until filled. All Queries to horrorlibrarysubs@yahoo.com.
SPECIAL OFFER TO AUTHORS WHO WISH TO SUBMIT
We’ve decided to make a VERY special offer to any author who wishes to purchase a copy of HORROR LIBRARY Vol. 1 for the purpose of understanding what we are looking for and submitting something along the lines of what we want.
The price - $8, shipping included in the continental US. Shipping is $5 to Canada and $8 anywhere else in the world. That’s $9 off the cover price - we’ve never offered it this low. We hope you submit to us, but that is not a necessary part of the deal. We figure the best way to find the stories we want is to get as many interested authors as we could to own a copy of it, before we begin selections.

IMAGINARIUM 2011: The Best Canadian Speculative Writing
ChiZine Publications and Tightrope Books have announced a joint venture to produce a reprint anthology collecting speculative short fiction and poetry (science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism, etc.) that represents the best work produced by Canadian writers.
Canadian speculative fiction has been increasingly recognized internationally for the caliber of its authors and their insight into the nature of social and religious identities, the implications of new technologies, and the relationship between humankind and its environments. At their best, these stories disrupt habits, overcome barriers of cultural perception to make the familiar strange. They provide glimpses of alternate realities and possible futures and pasts that provoke an ethical, social, political, environmental and biological inquiry into what it means to be human.
Co-edited by Sandra Kasturi (ChiZine Publications) and Halli Villegas (Tightrope Books), Imaginarium 2011: The Best Canadian Speculative Writing will be published annually, with a guest editor each year. The first volume is scheduled for release in May, 2011.
For further information contact Sandra Kasturi, Co-Publisher, ChiZine Publications at sandra@chizinepub.com or Halli Villegas, Publisher, Tightrope Books at halli@tightropebooks.com; or visit the website at Imaginarium 2011 (http://specfic.webs.com/).
To submit either poetry or fiction that has appeared for the first time in print or on the web in 2010 please email series editor Sandra Kasturi, Co-Publisher, ChiZine Publications at sandra@chizinepub.com.

Call for Submissions:
LIKE A VEIL, ARABIAN NIGHTS
Stories wanted for a CIRCLET PRESS anthology with an Arabian Nights theme, LIKE A VEIL, edited by Michelle Labbe and Cecilia Tan.
Each night for a thousand and one nights, Shahrazad spun tales as rich as damask to captivate her husband and preserve her life. Over the centuries, the Arabian Nights have been translated, expanded, expurgated, and celebrated for their twisting plots, sensuous language, and beguiling sexuality.
Given that we are Circlet Press, home of erotic fantasy and erotic science fiction, we are always looking for the erotic angle, and a new lens with which to see sexuality and eroticism. Shahrazad had a thousand and one tricks up her sleeve to captivate the sultan night after night – and perhaps not only through her skill as a storyteller. In this new anthology we are searching for erotic short fiction inspired by the Arabian Nights. We might see tales of the djinn and other demon lovers, of veiled temptresses, of pleasure-domes and magic carpets. You might invent your own fantasy world that evokes the common lore, or you might retell one of the actual stories with an erotic twist.
Submission Details:
Deadline for submission is June 15th. Our preferred length is approximately 3500 to 7500 words, but we will consider the range from 2000 to 10,000 words. All submissions must be made via email to the following address: mlabbe.circlet@gmail.com. Submissions sent to other addresses/other editors at Circlet Press will not be considered. Standard manuscript formatting rules apply even though sending as an attachment (MS Word .doc or .rtf preferred). Please note that this means your name, address, and email contact must appear on the manuscript itself and not simply in your email message. (If you’re not sure what standard short story submission format should look like, Google is your friend.)
No simultaneous submissions (that is, don’t also send your story elsewhere at the same time, and don’t send it to multiple Circlet editors, either), and no multiple submissions to the same book. One story per author per anthology, thanks.
All stories must include explicit sexuality and erotic focus. Romantic content is welcome, but in a short story remember to keep the details on the action and its effects on the main character’s internal point of view. Whether first person or third person, a strong, singular narrative voice is our preference (no ‘head hopping’ or swapping points of view within scene). For more details on our editorial preferences, see the general submission guidelines on circlet.com. We highly recommend reading the guidelines, especially the “do not send” list, to increase your chances of sending us something we’ll love. Try to avoid cliches. Fresh and direct language is preferred to overly euphemistic. Sex-positive, please, no rape/nonconsensuality/necrophilia or other purposefully gross topics. We do not publish horror.
Originals only, no reprints. We purchase first rights for inclusion in the ebook anthology for $25, with the additional rights to a print edition later which would also be paid $25 if a print edition happens. Authors retain the rights to the individual stories; Circlet exercises rights to the anthology as a whole.

[NOTE: Erotica/erotic horror anthology paying 1 cent/word:]
From http://libraryofthelivingdead.lefora.com/2010/05/20/nocturnal-emissions-things-that-go-hump-in-the-nig/:
Guidelines for NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS: Things That Go Hump in the Night
THE LIBRARY OF EROTIC HORROR welcomes your submission to:
"Nocturnal Emissions: Things That Go Hump in The Night”
Submissions are now open. The deadline for this anthology is August 31st. Unless your work is exceptional you are not likely to receive a notice until after this date.
Some generous foreplay:
Stories must include both horror and sexual themes, and while we will seek stories of all heat levels, authors are encouraged to be as erotic and sensual as possible.
All erotic pairings are welcome. This includes:
· Heterosexual (m/f)
· Homosexual (m/m)
· Lesbian (f/f)
· Solo or masturbatory stories (m or f)
· Threesomes of any combination
· Group sex
Keep it consensual, keep it scary and keep it sexy.
A little slap and tickle:
That said we will not accept the following themes:
· Bestiality (Please note this means any non-intelligent, non-reasoning being)
· Pedophilia. (Did we really need to say that?)
· Necrophilia (there is a line there when dealing with the undead, while you may dance around it, try very hard not to cross it)
· Bodily waste products (NO! Just no!)
· Incest/Twincest (again a whopping NO!)
· Underage characters in sexual situations (remember all characters MUST be 18yrs or older when engaged in erotic acts)
· Rape portrayed in a positive light
If you do not understand what constitutes erotic horror, please direct your attention to this free read.
The Long and Short of It (http://www.thebackseatwriter.com/warning.html)
This is the kind of thing we are looking for. Horror with a sexy twist. Aside from this there is no intended theme for this anthology. Feel free to explore the sexy sides of traditional monsters, as well as psychological terrors with a sensual edge.
PLEASE do not just poke sex into an existing horror story and try to sell it to us. In the end it will be obvious and we will know. Trust us. We will know.
Again if you do not understand what makes erotic horror, consider reading a bit of the genre before getting your wick wet. Google it. Surf the web. See what turns up. You might be surprised to learn you have already read something considered erotic horror.
The down and dirty deed:
word count 5k - 9k
rich text format only
courier font size 12
indent paragraphs
double space
use italics - do not underline
no page numbers
Place your contact information on first page, upper left - name, address, phone number, and email. Upper right hand corner place the word count. Center your title and under that put your name/pen name.
A cover letter is not necessary, but if you do include one please be brief, focusing on your experience with erotica and horror. Let your work sell itself.
Send submissions to erotichorror@gmail.com.
The afterglow:
Feel free to submit multiple stories, but only one story per author may be published.
Published authors will receive 1 cent per word and 1 contributor copy.

Stories wanted for a Circlet Press anthology of erotic sf/fantasy with a city/urban theme/setting/motif, co-edited by Nico Vreeland and Cecilia Tan.
Living in the city fractures us, it makes us split ourselves in order to find a part of ourselves to deal with this or that scenario, this or that person, this or that facet of the city. It doesn’t wait for us, it doesn’t give up ground, it doesn’t come to us; we must go to the city, and we must adapt ourselves to its demands. City life is cluttered and high-density but anonymous. We’re constantly surrounded by strangers, constantly anxious about making a connection with another person. We’re physically crowded but emotionally isolated, even from ourselves.
And so, when people come together—emotionally, romantically, sexually—it can be explosive. What kinds of people thrive in the city? What kind of city forces people together? What kinds of sex happen only in the city?
Some jumping-off points:
* power struggle/different kinds of people thrown together
* the city as outpost (such as Manuas, Brazil — in the middle of the Amazon, but has an opera house)
* the gritty city: what happens in the underworld?
Submission Details:
Deadline for submission is June 15th. Our preferred length is approximately 3500 to 7500 words, but we will consider the range from 2000 to 10,000 words. All submissions must be made via email to the following address: nico.circlet@gmail.com. Submissions sent to other addresses/other editors at Circlet Press will not be considered. Standard manuscript formatting rules apply even though sending as an attachment (MS Word .doc or .rtf preferred). Please note that this means your name, address, and email contact must appear on the manuscript itself and not simply in your email message. (If you’re not sure what standard short story submission format should look like, Google is your friend.)
No simultaneous submissions (that is, don’t also send your story elsewhere at the same time, and don’t send it to multiple Circlet editors, either), and no multiple submissions to the same book. One story per author per anthology, thanks.
All stories must include explicit sexuality and erotic focus. Romantic content is welcome, but in a short story remember to keep the details on the action and its effects on the main character’s internal point of view. Whether first person or third person, a strong, singular narrative voice is our preference (no ‘head hopping’ or swapping points of view within scene). For more details on our editorial preferences, see the general submission guidelines on circlet.com. We highly recommend reading the guidelines, especially the “do not send” list, to increase your chances of sending us something we’ll love. Try to avoid cliches. Fresh and direct language is preferred to overly euphemistic. Sex-positive, please, no rape/nonconsensuality/necrophilia or other purposefully gross topics. We do not publish horror.
Originals only, no reprints. We purchase first rights for inclusion in the ebook anthology for $25, with the additional rights to a print edition later which would also be paid $25 if a print edition happens. Authors retain the rights to the individual stories; Circlet exercises rights to the anthology as a whole.

Comment by Cecilia Tan:
Some stories we would accept just a smattering of surrealism, magic realism, or futurism, but there must be at least a taste from the SF/F.

PHOTO PROMPT:
Everyone knows the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words.” What if the picture begs for more than a thousand words? This anthology will feature stories that are inspired by the photo included on the left. What do you think led to this snapshot of this couple? Where are they going and what will ensue after this moment? What kind of world do they live in and what kind of erotic adventures do they have?
You don’t need to have the exact scene in the picture appear in your story, but do use the picture as muse or inspiration. Don’t forget to incorporate both the science fiction or fantasy aspect and the sex, and have fun with this! We’re hoping to see a wide variety of stories giving both a depth of character to these as-yet two-dimensional characters and a storyline as intriguing as the photo.
Submission Details:
The deadline for submissions is July 1, 2010. Our preferred word length is approximately 3500 to 7500 words, but we will consider stories that range from 2000 to 10,000 words. All submissions must be made via email to: jlevineeditor@gmail.com. Submissions sent to other addresses/other editors at Circlet Press will not be considered. Manuscripts should be correctly/professionally formatted for submission. (If you’re not sure what we mean by that, Google it.) Don’t forget to include your complete contact information in the manuscript document itself!

TATTERED SOULS 2:
From http://www.cuttingblock.net/submissions.html#tattered:
Call for Submissions
Cutting Block Press is pleased to announce an open submissions period for the follow-up to its successful 2007 anthology, Tattered Souls, to be published in trade paperback early in 2011. With Tattered Souls 2, we’re looking for horror fiction of the highest order. Or mission is to disturb and provoke through the power of stories well told and we’re unafraid of the darkest corners of the human condition. We ask only that you join us in our effort, bringing both courage and craft.
We believe longer works provide authors the opportunity to delve deeply into the myriad themes that inform the finest horror fiction and our guidelines reflect that. Particular consideration will be given those stories that best make use of supernatural content. Contemporary horror too often seems to have forgotten the notion that there are possibilities far worse than grisly death meted out to innocents by villains intent on mayhem. In this volume we intend to rectify that neglect.
We place no prior restrictions on content, but please be aware that violence and/or perversity used simply for shock value won’t cut it with us. The cascading horrors of the real world abound and intrude on our everyday lives. Works selected for TS2 will be those that travel to a place beyond to carry readers into a world where comfort is in short supply, hope is insufficient to save the day and one’s complicity in one’s own fate is laid bare.
We neither disturb nor provoke easily. We invite you to try.
At the bottom of this page, we’ve made a special offer for any author who wishes to submit to Tattered Souls 2. Please consider it carefully, as the most effective way for authors to understand what we’re looking for is to read what we’ve already published.
Guidelines:
For TS2, we’ll be reading original, unpublished stories of between 6,000 and 25,000 words in length, though we’re willing to go beyond that length for works of special merit and if you’ve one of those you should submit it. No simultaneous submissions. No multiple submissions. Each work must be accompanied by a separate synopsis, describing the story in full. All submissions will be reviewed by at least one editor, but a Senior Editor will read every synopsis. Only submissions e-mailed to the address below will be considered. Failure to follow guidelines may result in a submission being rejected without being read.
Submissions deadline is October 31 2010, with publication scheduled during the 1st half of 2011. A provisional response to your submission should be expected from us within 90 days of receipt.
Buying 1st worldwide anthology rights for print, and electronic rights to publish TS2 on Kindle. We accept no reprints. Paying 1.5 cents per word, plus one contributor’s copy. For established authors, rates are negotiable. Final response time: six months or sooner.
Send your submission to tatteredsubs@yahoo.com.
SPECIAL OFFER TO AUTHORS WHO WISH TO SUBMIT
We’ve decided to make a special offer to any author who wishes to purchase a copy of Tattered Souls for the purpose of understanding what we’re looking for with a mind to submitting their best work to us.

TIMES OF TROUBLE (Permuted Press; Lane Adamson, Editor). Theme: "Time travel.
"It's the ultimate impossible dream: the ability to step through a doorway into tomorrow or yesterday, seeing all the unknown wonders of the future — or correcting the awful mistakes of the past.
"It can't happen, of course. Oh, but what if ...?
"And what if something went terribly, irreparably wrong?
"Times of Trouble, a new anthology of original speculative fiction from Permuted Press, is looking for grim, gritty stories about the unhappy unintended consequences of mucking about with the delicate fabric of reality. That doesn't mean there's no room for any note of hope, or the occasional happy ending — in fact, accomplishing such a feat effectively just might greatly enhance the author's chance of inclusion in this anthology — but the emphasis here is decidedly on the dark downside of time travel.
"Times of Trouble most emphatically does not want to see any stories of clichéd wish fulfillment — don't bother submitting any stories in which Hitler is fortuitously killed prior to World War II — or those using time travel as a convenient plot device to place the protagonist ‘elsewhen’ simply for the sake of a rousing adventure. (The Editor has nothing whatsoever against a good romp with Tyrannosaurs, but the place for such is not here.) Time travel must be integral to development of the story.
"Unless crucial to the plot, it is not necessary to expound at length on the actual mechanism of time travel. The ‘how’ should be far less important than ‘what happens next?’
"Examples of the sort of stories that will succeed in this anthology are ‘—All You Zombies—’ by Robert A. Heinlein, ‘A Sound of Thunder,’ by Ray Bradbury (oh, look — you can use dinosaurs, if you do it right), and the classic STAR TREK episode, ‘The City on the Edge of Forever.’"
Length: 3000–7500 words; pays 1¢/word, "for first worldwide print and eBook rights, payable on finalization by the Editor of the completed Table of Contents and issuance of a contract by the Publisher.
"Submissions should be e-mailed to timetraveler@permutedpress.com attached as a .DOC (preferred) or .RTF file in Standard Manuscript Format (as described—with many worthwhile pointers—at either http://www.sfwa.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Mssprep.pdf or http://www.shunn.net/format/story.html, both of which are fine examples for the writer). Submissions that fail to at least make an attempt to follow formatting guidelines will be rejected unread (but may be resubmitted in proper format).
"Multiple submissions are not permitted, but authors whose attempts are rejected are not prohibited from making another effort. Simultaneous submissions are strongly frowned upon."
E-mail, timetraveler@permutedpress.com; URL, http://www.permutedpress.com. Deadline: July 4, 2010.

Payment: AUS$50 per story.
TWELFTH PLANET PRESS is announcing a reading period for SPEAKEASY, a new anthology to be launched at Natcon50 in Perth 2011.
With Prohibition in full force in the US, speakeasies were all the rage, cocaine was still legal, and the Charleston, the Shimmy and The Bunny Hog were in their heyday! Art deco influenced the faces of cities, jazz music was widely popular, eyeshadow was very heavy, the women’s suffrage movement made major progress and movies got sound. The Roaring Twenties was the era of Charlie Chaplin, Joan Crawford, Albert Einstein, Greta Garbo, and Niels Bohr. King George V was on the throne in the UK, Mussolini had power in Italy, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf, and King Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered.
Speakeasy is a roaring, lively and exciting new original anthology, edited by Alisa Krasnostein and published by Twelfth Planet Press. It will blend art deco with urban fantasy, the Charleston with the vampire, and the flapper with the noir detective. It will be fast paced, action packed and well dressed. Stories in the vein of Dorothy Parker’s “Flappers: A Hate Song” will also be considered.
Stories for Speakeasy should be original, unpublished fantasy stories of between 2,500 wds and 7,500 wds, set in the 1920s and fun.
How: send your submission in rtf attachment to submissions@twelfthplanetpress.com.
Length: stories should be between 2 500 and 7 500 words.
Submissions will open June 1 and close September 30, 2010.

The V.S. PRITCHETT MEMORIAL PRIZE (http://kalamu.posterous.com/pub-vs-prittchett-short-story-contest-royal-s):
“The short story, my father once wrote, is ‘exquisitely difficult.’ For the author, that is. All the same, I hope that many, many people will enter this competition in his memory. And if they want encouragement and inspiration they may find it in one of his own short stories. There are so many to choose from, but I would particularly recommend ‘The Evils of Spain,’ one of my favourites, from the very beginning of his amazingly long writing career, or the wonderful “Cocky Olly”, written more than half a century later.?” — Oliver Pritchett
This prize commemorates an author who is widely regarded as the finest English short-story writer of the 20th century.
The VS Pritchett Memorial Prize of £1,000 is for an unpublished short story. It was relaunched in 2009 in collaboration with Prospect magazine, who will be publishing the winning entry.
Apply for the 2010 Prize

A contest from REDSTONE SF:
From http://io9.com/5558484/imagine-a-future-where-weve-overcome-disability-and-win-300:
Imagine a future where we've overcome disability, and win $300!
Why does science fiction always imagine disabled people as villains, less than human, or in need of redemption? You can help change this dire situation, by entering Redstone Science Fiction's new contest, "Towards An Accessible Future."
Redstone, a new SF mag (with the great slogan "We want to live forever. Get us off this rock.") is holding a contest for stories that best exemplify the values mentioned in Sarah Einstein's thought-provoking essay "The Future Imperfect."
Einstein writes:
“The problem with disability in science fiction isn't much different from the problem of disability in general or literary fiction: it appears as a plot device, or is mean to establish a character or group of characters at radically other, or is the embodiment of our careless attitude toward the ecosystems which support us. We mutate into either superheroes or arch-villains. Darth Vader is an evil torso in what can best be described as a suit-shaped life support system; his disability symbolic of the way in which his defection to the dark side of the force has warped his intellect. In the original Star Trek series, Captain Christopher Pike exists in a metal box less technically sophisticated than the equipment used to film the show until, after being acquitted in a trial for attempting to flee to a planet that could accommodate his disability, his innocence is rewarded and Star Fleet Command makes an exception to the rule to allow him - for his heroism - to live there as if he were again fully able-bodied. In cyberpunk and dark future novels, mutants arise from ecological chaos to either save or destroy mankind. Bodily difference can signal heroism or great evil, but it always signifies in scifi...”
There is too little science fiction written that envisions a fully accessible, universally designed future. And so we are asking you, gentle readers, to do just that. We're announcing the first contest to be sponsored by Redstone Science Fiction!
You have until August 15 to come up with a story that portrays "disability as a simple fact, not as something to be overcome or something to explain why a character is evil. The submissions should also incorporate the portrayal of disability in a world where universal access is a shared cultural value." The winning story will appear in Redstone's September issue, and will get $300, or at least six cents a word. So get to it! More details at the link. [Redstone Science Fiction]
Send an email to Charlie Jane Anders, the author of this post, at charliejane@io9.com.
