Greetings from Duotrope's Digest, 

How is our Keep It Free Campaign going?
CODE RED! We are behind on meeting our current goal for this month. Even a small amount will help. If all of our subscribers contributed just $4.25 per year, we would meet our goal for the year. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of our subscribers contributes. So far this year, 8.39% of our subscribers have donated. The average donation has been $17.22.
(Learn more about the campaign and why we need donations.)

Here are the latest market additions and updates, as well as some upcoming themed publication deadlines.

Paying Markets Added (since last newsletter):
1: Every Day Poets. Payscale: Token payment (under $5 per poem). From the publisher: "Every Day Poets is looking for short poems, of 500 words or fewer. There's no such thing as too short. All genres are acceptable, and poems that don't fit neatly into any genre are welcome too. Our readership is adult, so poems intended for children are unlikely to be accepted unless they are relevant to adults as well. On the other hand, we are not impressed by gratuitous sex and violence, or pointlessly foul language; edgy content should be necessary to the purpose of the poem and appropriate to this venue."
2: Falling Star Magazine. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies) to semi-pro payment ($5-49 per poem). From the publisher: "Falling Star Magazine is a print quarterly featuring short fiction, poetry and art of all mediums."
3: Masques. Payscale: Token payment (under $5 per poem) to semi-pro payment ($5-49 per poem). From the publisher: "Masques will be edited by Gillian Polack and Scott Hopkins. All approaches to the theme are welcome, as long as they are by nature speculative. Submissions are encouraged from Australian writers of all levels of experience, with special encouragement given to CSFG members."
4: New Fables. Payscale: Semi-pro payment ($5-49 per poem). From the publisher: "New Fables is looking for creative, original stories that use anthropomorphic animal characters to tell basic human stories. We favor stories in a literary tradition; not only fables and folk tales, but well-constructed stories in which the animal characterization is part of the larger theme of the work. It is highly recommended that you pick up one of our previous issues to see what kind of material we publish."
5: New Love Stories Magazine. Payscale: Professional payment ($50 or more per poem). From the publisher: "The overall theme should involve short stories of Male/Female love and romance. These stories may be contemporary, historic, inspirational, paranormal, or any other theme as long as love and romance are the main thrust of the story."
6: Shock Totem. Payscale: Semi-pro payment ($5-49 per poem).

Non-Paying Markets Added (since last newsletter):
1: 10 x 3 plus. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "10x3 plus began publishing in 2007. Each issue showcases 10 poets x 3 poems or 3 poets x 10 poems plus other poems, prose-poems, or features. The idea of the magazine is to publish multiple poems by poets. With this goal in mind, the editor accepts poets first, and poems second. The magazine has also featured longer works, such as Jesse Weiner's book-length poem, The Structure of Complex Symbols, which was "fragmented" in issue #1. Other "top ten" poets have included Rick Campbell, Grace Cavalieri, Tomas De Faoite, Michael Gessner, Susan Grimm, John Kay, Martin Turner, and Fredrick Zydek. When you read 10 x 3, you will find that the poets published are varied, and the quality of the writing is excellent."
2: Ampersand (&), The. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "We are looking for creative work, but only good creative work. Give us God, give us god, give us man, give us people & make us laugh. If you can make us cry, do so, if you want to lament loss of pets & family, do not. We enjoy smiling & the bizarre sensation of the rabble-rouse. We want to feel, & we want to want, & we don't want Cheap Trick jokes inserted here, unless they are awesome. We are strict & unbiased; we value aesthetic above morality; we want to read a good piece as much as our readers, so write one before submitting."
3: Argot. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "Argot is a biannual magazine based in Singapore featuring poetry, fiction and the occasional article or interview. Its content is weighted towards, but not limited to, local writers and young writers (and especially writers who are both)."
4: Black Satellite. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "Black Satellite (BS) seeks submissions of startling/terrifying science fiction, some weird horror, and original artwork. No vampires, no gothic horror, no ghost stories, and no slipstream. I want character driven stories that leave an image in the reader's mind long after finishing the story. I want stories with a beginning, a middle, and an ending. In other words, a plot. No mood pieces. No cliches. Show me that you can be original or at least concoct a new twist on a familiar theme. I am particularly interested in seeing cross genre stories. Think along the lines of "The Outer Limits", "The Twilight Zone", the Alien movies, or even the old magazine "Argonaut". My favorite writers include Al Manachino, Tim Curran, and many others."
5: Broken Plate, The. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "The project began with a dirty, shattered dish lying on the coffee shop floor and, after some editorial initiative, became a journal of creative writing we are quite proud to have produced. Ball State University English Department's undergraduate literary magazine, The Broken Plate, features poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. The jagged connections of words and images within these pieces parallel our attempts at fitting together the shards of our lives into a new and understandable form. Shattered against the ground, the plate ain't what it used to be-there are now several new pieces that have different shapes than before."
6: Caveat Lector. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "Caveat Lector is a semi-annual magazine dedicated to literature, social and cultural criticism, philosophy, and the arts."
7: Dante's Heart. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "Dante's Heart offers an online venue for established and new writers and artists to share creative work that explores how myth and fairy tale define and are defined by the human experience(s). We want to celebrate the shock, wonder, bewilderment, suffering, and enchantment of myth, of the fantastic; we want to hear about rivers running with wine and ghosts jumping the Mississippi on motorcycles. We're concerned with the neglect of myth, with the blindness of a culture determined by myths it hasn't thought about; we demand (beg, entreat, scream) that myths be thought about, made and remade, handled with a delicate & angry/sad/ desperate/joyous exuberance. Dante's Heart has no investment in being either traditional or avant-garde, in genre or trans-genre, academic or popular; our whole commitment is to discovery, to surprise or be surprised."
8: HEX Magazine. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "HEX is a bi-annual publication and an online community giving voice to radical traditionalists and the modern heathen household. We are here to serve those who honor the indigenous traditions and beliefs of European people. In a world driven by consumerism, globalization, and the homogenization of cultures, this magazine strives to bring our focus back to the evident truths of the seasonal cycles, the folkways & rites of our ancestors, earth stewardship, self-sufficiency, and sustainable living. By making old world knowledge and wisdom available for use in our everyday lives, we aspire to bring continuity to the present and hope to our future generations."
9: Horror Bound Online Magazine. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "Material should be of a horror/dark fantasy or supernatural theme in the fiction genre."
10: Inscribed: A Magazine for Writers. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "Since 2006, Inscribed: A Magazine for Writers has had thousands of readers who return again and again to enjoy the unique perspectives and use of language from our highly diverse contributor base."
11: PLUMb. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "PLUMb Arts Journal is a not-for-profit arts journal which seeks to provide encouragement and exposure to emerging Christian artists and writers in Canada. We distribute our print journal locally in the Metro Vancouver area."
12: Ragged Sky Poems about Clothing Anthology. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "Ragged Sky Press is looking for poems about clothing for a one-time anthology: outergarments, undergarments, shoes, accessories-anything that conceals...or reveals. Well-woven poems will be selected by the editors."
13: Reverie: Midwest African American Literature. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "Reverie is a journal devoted to featuring high quality literature by African Americans "connected" to the Midwest. The Review Board consists of a distinguished group of professional writers and instructors."
14: Southern California Review. Payscale: Non-paying (may provide copies). From the publisher: "Southern California Review (SCR) is the student-run biannual literary journal of the Master of Professional Writing (MPW) Program at the University of Southern California (USC). Formerly known as the Southern California Anthology, it has been publishing fiction and poetry since 1982 and now also accepts submissions of creative nonfiction, plays, and screenplays. Printed every October and April with original cover artwork, every issue contains new, emerging, and established authors."
