I kind of got out of the habit of doing these but I am still on the Author's Publish mailing. This month opens with their usual mixed bag of themed call and contests.
What is there?
Well, Flame Tree Press is looks for stories for anthologies, two romantasy and two mythological fantasy.
And if you're a woman or gender-fluid and over 50, The Green Sheaf is doing an issue on The Crone.
Flash Fiction Online is doing a "Human Shaped" theme, about being like robots and monsters that look human, but maybe are not
Heartlines is looking for stories about longterm relationships, not the blaze of new love, but the love that endures. Platonic, romantic, and familial relationships are all welcome.
And that's just a tiny sample. Here's the full list:
