A Trio of Markets

Just a few markets that came my way today:

From Paul Brazill we have an anthology called "Haunted". Editor Greg Miller is looking for shorts with a maximum word count of 5000 but would prefer 1500 to 3500 words. This will be published by Static Movement Press, but I couldn't find any payment mentioned. Reprints are also acceptable for this call. http://staticmovement.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=schedule&action=display&thread=103 This press has a large number of anthology calls listed. Just click on Home at the top of this page and you'll find all the links on the message board. There also doesn't seem to be a deadline for any of the anthologies that I saw, stories are accepted or rejected as they come in and once they're filled, they're done.

And Michael Bracken sent the links to a pair of romance markets. The first is a non-paying market called Romance Stories Magazine due to launch in September. They're looking for shorts and novellas up to 20,000 words http://romancestoriesmagazine.com/#/submission-g

The second is Shades of Romance. You'll need to scroll down the page to find the information about short stories. The pay is $25 for shorts of 50 to 1500 words and they accept stories in all the genres, so long as there's romance. But no erotica! You also need to query first for this market. You can find the details at http://www.sormag.com/guidelines.htm

Many thanks to both Paul and Michael for the market links!!!
