Taking Submissions: Electric Spec – May Edition
Deadline: April 15th, 2015 Payment: $20 for each story published A note on our editorial policy: before publication we may edit the story for length or readability. However, we always remain true to the spirit of the story. Issues are published at the end of February, May, August, and November. We have reading periods for each issue, though we never close to submissions. May closes April 15 Please do not submit the same story more than once, and please submit only one story at a time. We consider any story between 250 and 7000 words with speculative fiction elements. We prefer science fiction, fantasy, and the macabre, but we're willing to push the limits of traditional forms of these genres. We do not consider poetry, stories with over-the-top sex or violence, serials, novels, fan fiction, or non-fiction. We don't accept multiple submissions; in other words, only submit one story at a time and wait for a response before submitting another. We accept simultaneous submissions as long as you let us know up front and tell us as soon as it's accepted elsewhere. We do not publish reprints, including anything that has appeared on a website. We pay $20 for each story we publish. We buy first-printing world exclusive rights for four months. Payment will be made shortly after publication using PayPal. We encourage our authors to establish a PayPal account if they don't already have one. We prefer to read submissions in traditional manuscript format. This means indented paragraphs instead of left justification, and Courier or Times New Roman font in 12 pt, double-spaced. Also, please include the title, your name, address, and word length on the first page of your story. To submit your story to Electric Spec, e-mail it as an attachment in Rich Text Format (RTF) to...
Taking Submissions: Revenge
Deadline: April 15, 2015 Payment: Contributor's Copy Let's talk revenge. Have you sought or exacted revenge on another? Thought about it? Have you been the recipient of vengeance by someone?

Is karma, free of human influence, the ultimate revenge? Share your poems, essays, short stories, hybrid/cross-genre pieces, art, or photographs -- fact or fiction -- related to the topic of revenge. The only guidelines are that your submission be about revenge, and be riveting and gorgeously written. Deadline: April 15, 2015 Payment: One free copy of the anthology Distribution: Amazon.com & Etsy.com Email submissions to [email protected], with the word "revenge" and your last name in the subject line of the email.
