Twitter of the Dead

I was at a writing conference this weekend, and discovered a new publisher--Living Dead Press. They specialize in horror short story anthologies. Here is a really fun call for submissions they have going up: Twitter of the Dead.



FYI, they don't pay anything for inclusion but contributors' copies, but that makes it a good stepping stone for bigger and better things in the future.

Contest for Short Short Stories

The Bevel Summers Prize in the Short Short Story is open to all authors of stories of up to 1,000 words.
