Paying Market: First Pantechnicon Print Anthology call for submissions.

[Troo]

PANTECHNICON SEEKING SUBMISSIONS FOR FIRST PRINT ANTHOLOGY.

I'll post the full Terms and Conditions later, but here's the gist of it:

- Stories must be in the SF/F/H genres, and of a standard that matches or surpasses what we would usually publish in the Magazine. If you are not a regular reader I urge you to download and read Issue Five to get a good idea of what Pantechnicon is about before submitting a story.

- Stories must be between 5,000 and 15,000 words.

- Contributors receive a free copy.

- Contributors receive a percentage of the profits from the sale of the anthology. There is no up-front payment other than the contributor's copy.

- All sumbissions must be sent electronically to Submissions@pantechnicon.net with "ANTHOLOGY SUBMISSION" in the subject line.

- Payment will only be offered via PayPal to non-UK residents. If you are a UK resident, other options may be considered and can be discussed on an ad-hoc basis.

- Payment will be once every six months after publication date.

- Simultaneous and Multiple Submissions are not accepted.

- Closing date for submissions is March 31st 2008. I will take international date lines into account if you are behind GMT, so don't panic if you've left it until 11pm PST to send your mail.

I aim to have this published in July 2008. Date to be determined and announced closer to the time.

Troo,
What if my story was pirated by an obscure ezine and taken down after two months? An exception for my hard luck case? I have proof of the whole fiasco.

Doh! Just noticed the date! Nevermind... She slinks away embarrassed.

Sorry I couldn't answer sooner. I've been extremely ill the past couple of weeks.

Ask me again when we come to do the second Anthology
