(Markets) Library of the Living Dead - paying anthologies

Lou Treleaven

Here's another market for those of us looking for paying horror/sf/f/speculative anthologies - 1c per word plus contributor's copy.

Thanks Lou - I visit this forum from time to time, not all are paying but it's good to know some do.

I have just submitted something to the Liminality anthology.

"Liminality is the state between states; it’s what you experience when you’re no longer what you were, but haven’t quite become what you’re going to be.

"I’m looking for speculative fiction stories that are in the liminal state -- specifically, stories that are in-between genres. There are no other limitations on content, except that there must be a speculative element. What (and how many) genres you choose to muddle and how you choose to blur the lines are completely up to you."

Deadline 15 Jan

Is 1c the going rate for this kind of anthology? I can't work out where the money's going.

Is 1c the going rate, anyone?

dorothyd

varies tremendously. Is it a small publisher or large, if small, sometimes you're lucky they pay at all!

Lou Treleaven

It's not bad for a small publisher, bearing in mind some of them only pay 1/4c per word!

How does that compare to a short story in a womag?

Lou Treleaven

Womags pay a lot more.
