Often go awry. Its been a slow week for the blog, but then life doesn't always care if you have other things you'd rather be doing. Hopefully, I'll be back on a more even keel this next week. I always feel like I'm letting you folks down when I don't post everyday or so.
I heard about this market from two sources, the lovely Paul Brazill and from Pam Castro's Flash Newsletter. I was aware of the Gumshoe Review but since they were a book review site I didn't list them as a market. But as of October, they've decided to publish one short story and one non-fiction essay a month. The word count limit is 1000 and the pay is 5cents a word with a $50 cap. They're also looking for reviewers if anyone is interested. This was mentioned in the "Just the Facts." section by the editor. You can find all the details here http://www.gumshoereview.com/php/Review-id.php?id=1852 The main site is at http://www.gumshoereview.com/
Pill Hill Press http://www.pillhillpress.com/index.html has listed four new anthology calls.
Bucket 'O' Guts Press has an open call for submissions to their new anthology "Foetus Fatale: Fubar'd Noir. They're looking for crime noir stories set in a Lovecraft type world. They opened October 1 and will be open until all the slots are filled. 1000 to 4000 words with a payday of $50 and a copy of the anthology. They'll dicker on the price if you're famous. http://bucketoguts.wordpress.com/foetus-fatale-fubard-noir/
Weirdyear is a brand new market for flash fiction. They're looking to publish daily. The maximum word count is 1000 but their sweet spot is 500 - 800 words. They want off-beat and weird fiction in any genre, no pay. There are no stories up, so this is a very new enterprise. http://www.weirdyear.com/
And Issue 33 of Thuglit has hits the streets with eight new short stories from writers like Trey R. Barker, Jimmy Calloway, and Johnny Zephyr, to name just a few. Happy? reading, folks! http://www.thuglit.com
