Tundra's new site

After a long hiatus, Tundra: The Journal of the Short Poem looks like it might be back. The magazine has a fresh new website, and the word on the street is that a new issue could be making its appearance in the not-too-distant future. The magazine is closed to submissions now, but will reopen when the backlog has been cleared out.

Ballista, Flapjack Press's speculative fiction magazine, is now open to submissions. Guidelines are available on the website.

If you're in the mood for a short speculative story, check out S.J. Higbee's story, "Damned Flies," on EverydayWeirdness.com. See the world from a fly's point of view....

two fiction markets

Things have been a little hectic lately (I'm working on getting a third job) so I don't have many updates. But here are two cool short fiction markets that both pay.

Reflection's Edge is an online zine that accepts science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories between 500 and 10,000 words. Payment is $15 for electronic rights, with one featured story per month earning an extra $50 bonus. Simultaneous submissions OK but no reprints. Response time is two months.

EveryDayWeirdness.com is looking for "weird" flash fiction and poetry (under 1,000 words). Pays $5.42 per story/poem by PayPal. For a taste of what the editors are looking for, check out "Left" by Icy Sedgwick.
