Outer Alliance Spotlight #29: Spring Break Part 2 April 9, 2010
Posted by juliarios in : links, submissions , trackbackWelcome to Outer Alliance Spotlight #29. Normally, the Spotlight features an ally who writes, reviews, publishes, or is in some other way involved with LGBTQI speculative fiction. This Friday, however, marks the second of a two week break from the norm. Spring is here, and your faithful correspondent is overwhelmed with travel plans, so instead of interviews, you’ll get some links to April appropriate content elsewhere on the web.
This week, our focus is on submissions!
First, Bart and Kay over at Crossed Genres have teamed up with several awesome judges to put on the Science in My Fiction contest. Submissions opened on the 1st of April, and will run until the 30th of June. They’re looking for science fiction stories inspired by recent science news.
Second, Hellebore and Rue (edited by OA members, Catherine Lundoff and JoSelle Vanderhooft) is still open for submissions of lesbian magic user stories. Submissions close May 15th.
Third, Megan Arkenberg is looking for articles, fiction and poetry exploring the ways in which speculative fiction and politics interact. Her anthology, Crimethink, has a tentative deadline of May 15th.
And finally, on a non-submissions note, the Ursa Major Awards are open for voting until the 18th of this month (that’s just over a week from now!), so if you like anthropomorphic animal stories, movies, and art, the time to express your preferences is now.
That’s all for this week. Next week will bring us back to interviews as usual. Happy Spring!
