Sorry there aren’t as many links as usual. Life is happening, as it has a habit of doing.

Mythic Delirium – October 1

Flytrap: A Little ‘Zine With Teeth – October 31

The Story Quest Short Story Contest – October 31

Delicious Malicious: 100 Tales of Horror – October 31

Read Short Fiction – ongoing

These deadlines are, as always, Submitter Beware, because I can’t vouch for any of these publishers. This is basically just a place for me to deposit short story deadlines to which I would like to submit work, so all the markets are paying (usually at least $.01 a word, or royalties) and accept electronic submissions. They’re all genre markets of some kind (horror, science fiction, steampunk, fantasy).

Please be sure to check Horror Tree, Ralan and Dark Markets for more publications looking for submissions.  This list is by no means exhaustive. Oh, and don’t forget to check posts from previous months (they’re all categorized under “Upcoming Deadlines”) for publications that are still open.

If you’re an editor or publisher and you’d like me to feature your deadline here, you can email me at sarah.hans at gmail dot com with the details.

Happy Submitting!
