Assorted Links

As a continuation of the critique discussion below you might want to check out this excellent essay by Brandon Bell on writing a well written story and how to critique your own and other's stories. http://mbranesf.blogspot.com/2009/05/guest-post-brandon-bellon-well-written.html

The newest Toys for Tots anthology, put out yearly by Wolfmont Publishing, is open to submissions. This year John Floyd is the editor. There is no pay for this one, as all the profits go to Toys for Tots, but it's always a good seller and great exposure for the writers. You can find the guidelines here http://www.wolfmont.com/2009%20TFT/2009-tft-submissions%20call.html This publisher tends toward the cozy end of the mystery genre so keep it clean if you're submitting.

Dan Wells, the publisher at Biblioasis is sponsoring a flash contest to advertise a new book that coming out. The word count is 250 and you get to kill off a reviewer. First prize is $100, the deadline is June 15. All the details are here http://revengelit.blogspot.com/2009/05/revenge-lit-contest.html
