If you’re a fantasy writer this may just be a great opportunity for you.  Carnivah House has given an open call for submissions for it’s “Infinity Swords” anthology.  stories should be between 1,000 and 6,000 words. Payment is a flat fee $50.00.

this is a good opportunity if you have a knack for writing very short pieces that tell the whole story. (And it’s not easy to do, let me tell you!)  their submission guidelines are prety straightforward, though there seems to be some confusion as to whether the final date for submission is January 15th or June 15th 2008.  I think I’d shoot for january, if i were you.

Have Fun!

Escape Velocity Magazine is accepting stories in the Hard SciFi Genre.  While the magazine only pays $10.00 US for a story, they prefer true shorts of 1,000 to 5,000 words.  If you write like i do, you’re talking about $10.00 for about an hour’s work (three if you want to go back and polish), and a good bit of exposure for your work.

Please note that Escape Velocity is about Hard Science fiction, they do not accept fantasy stories or “cowboys in space” (think Han Solo or Flash Gordon).  If you happen to have something lying about that fits their guidelines, it may be well worth the time to send it in to them.
