If you're looking for something to do during the sizzling days of summer, here are some submission call outs with red hot deadlines in July and August:
Yesterday I received an e-mail from Linda Fisher, publisher of
Mozark Press, reminding me about the deadline for the Shaker of Margaritas:
Bad Hair Day anthology. I'm not sure I can get something together by then, but maybe some of my visitors can. Here are the details:
The
deadline is July 15. Linda is looking for humorous
fiction stories about a bad hair day, "one of those days when things don’t go according to plan; in fact, it is as horrible as a bad perm or hair that turns green—unintentionally. Things go wrong, but with humor, stubbornness, and attitude—the female protagonist can survive any kind of bad hair day."
Approximately 20-25 stories will be selected for the anthology and will be paid $20 upon publication. For submissions guidelines visit the "Bad Hair Day" page on

Last week in the comment section on my post about the Chicken Soup for the Soul dispute settlement, Dahlynn McKowen, editor of
Publishing Syndicate, issued this invitation to my visitors:
". . . I have created a competing anthology -- "Not Your Mother's Book...[subtitle]." It's a new anthology for a new century and I invite you and your fans to submit stories!
http://www.publishingsyndicate.com/ Thanks!"
The
August 1 deadlines are for:
On Travel and
On Being a Stupid Kid. Here's a link to the
submission guidelines where you can also read details about compensation options.
