The new issue (#44) of Black Petals is now online. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but from the lineup it looks like a good one.
The results of the 2008 Rhysling Awards have been posted here -- congratulations to all the winners!
Here are two speculative fiction contests:
Science Fiction Writers of Earth Science Fiction/Fantasy Short Story Contest: The entry fee for this one is $5 per story, which includes a one-year membership in the Science Fiction Writers of Earth. Additional entries are $2 each. All entries must be unpublished. The top prizes are pretty good: $200/$100/$50, and the story that wins first place may earn another $75 for web publishing rights. Deadline is October 30th.
Electric Dragon Cafe Short Story Contest: This is a quarterly themed contest with no entry fee. The theme this time around is "birth & rebirth." First prize is a $25 Borders or Barnes & Noble gift card (which by then will probably be the same thing), second prize is a $10 gift card, and third prize is an Electric Dragon Cafe writing journal. Deadline is August 31st, and only unpublished stories for this one, too.
I've got a story I might want to enter in taht first contest.
ReplyDeleteWicked little tidbits in D & N 80, Greg. Just the sort of think I'd like to read to my five year old (if I had one).
ReplyDeleteCharles, it sounds like a decent contest. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMary, thanks! Haven't gotten my copy yet but looking forward to reading it.
Greg,
ReplyDeleteI got my copy of D&N as well... Good job.
I liked Charles' poem too.

Thanks J! I was hoping it would come today, but no such luck.
