A Pair of Anthologies

Wicked East Press http://www.wickedeastpress.com/ publishes anthologies, but there is usually no payment, not even copies. But this anthology call from Wicked East is a bit different. It's being run as a contest. "Here There Be Dragons" is looking for shorts of 3000 to 7000 words about dragons. Stories with this word count will be entered into the contest with 1st prize being $75 plus one copy, second prize is $50 plus a copy and third place is two copies. Stories of 500 to 1500 are submitted as 4 the luv. Accepted stories of 3000 to 7000 words that don't place in the contest but are accepted for the anthology will receive a flat fee of $5. You can find all the details at http://sites.google.com/a/wickedeastpress.com/wicked-east-press/open-submissions Scroll down for the contest details as there are several anthos listed on this page.

This next anthology, "Dark Tales of Lost Civilizations", is being put together by author, Eric Guignard. He's looking for shorts of 2000 to 7000 words for stories in the genres of horror or spec-fic that are about lost civilizations. Pay is 1cent a word plus a copy. Payment will be made upon publication, but (you knew there'd be a but, didn't you?) there is no publisher attached to this project as yet.
