Boing!

posted by [personal profile] purplecthulhu at 11:31am on 11/07/2005
Just got my latest submission bounced from an online fiction publishers.

The comment they made, which given their stated publishing policy is quite fair, was that 'it read a bit too much like horror'.

So, has anyone out there got an suggestions for a market that will take a short-short (500ish words) nasty little vignette?

I guess I could alwasy publish it here on LJ, but I want to give this thing a proper chance to spread its wings and fly in a proper venue first. And sadly, I don't know the horror market that well.

You might try this?

I've not tried it myself (that would mean I'd actually finished something), but it may throw up something useful.

Thanks!

That looks really useful!

A quick blasat through reveals several markets for the story that I'd never have heard of otherwise. Excellent!

I just glanced through the listing for fantasy. Warning: It's EXTREMELY out of date. XOddity, for example, has been defunct for at least 5 years.

I subscribe to Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet and Flytrap zines, both of which have published "like horror" stories recently.

Are you looking for pro pubs only, also semi-pro and non-paying, or don't care?

Shadowed Realms, http://www.shadowedrealms.com.au/main.htm, looks like a nice semi-pro.

I use ralan.com for all my market needs. :-)

See you soon!
