In the course of wandering around in the internet, I stumbled across an ezine called Space Westerns. It publishes weekly and pays money.
They are looking for stories, radio plays, artwork, comics, film, poetry and reviews. Have a look at the submission guidelines.
Strange Horizons is an online magazine considered a professional market and paying reasonable rates. They publish weekly in bite size pieces.
I’m sure this isn’t news to a lot of people, but I just found out about them so I thought I’d mention it.
Latest short story fix – Hub #70.
I like Hub – it’s delivered weekly as a pdf via email and contains one story (SF, fantasy or horror) and a couple of reviews. It’s a tasty snack that can easily be consumed in between the less interesting things that I ‘should’ be doing.
The story in #70 is Under Offer by Gary McMahon. It’s wonderfully macabre and a fine example of showing, not telling. Hop on over and have a disturbing 5-minute read.
Just read the December issue of the Writer’s Market newsletter.
It has an article on writing speculative fiction short stories which is quite interesting.
The kind and generous editors are playing a mini slush pile game. Entries are posted on the blog with comments – and so far, it’s been highly constructive advice.
