I have the next theme for Plunge  magazine ...

The theme for issue #2 will be Chase(d).

The chase between a criminal and a police officer.
Being chased by memories.
Chasing after a dream or priceless artifact.
etc.

We're hoping this will attract a wider range of contributors and genres.  Do you write?  Do you make art?  Send us something!

 BBC seeks comedy scripts with positive portrayals of transgender people.  This makes me happy.  Positive portrayals of marginalized groups can do a lot to smooth over rough spots in culture.

"Indigenous Deep Space" call for papers.  This looks so cool.

I really like First Nations speculative fiction.  I've always had that motif in my space colonization.

Here's a call for papers by people of color about their experiences of discrimination while writing/publishing genre fiction. That ought to be an interesting anthology.  I'm hoping for stuff by people like Nalo Hopkinson, Nnedi Okorafor, Steven Barnes, Tananarive Due, etc.  I know I've got some folks in my audience who fit the bill too.  Please consider participating -- it's even a paying market.

This notice crossed my desk today.  I'm pleased by the move toward diversity.

LGBT publisher inGroup is soliciting novels (LGBT YA/teen and erotica)
and bloggers (they mention restaurant/hotel reviews and blogs about
the literary world/publishing industry) and expects to resume
solicitations of nonfiction in Oct/Nov.

Here's what they say about genre works:
#1 – LGBT YA/teen novels, dark and emotional to quirky and hilarious.
Books with supernatural aspects are especially welcome. If—like us—you
think “Twilight” is painfully heterosexual, and you’ve done your own
take on gay teens and werewolves, then you should be sending us your
polished manuscript.

Communities magazine is seeking articles on spirituality in communal living.  This market doesn't pay in cash but does provide several comp copies or a year's subscription, which is nice barter for a short article.

Communities  magazine has extended their deadline for the "Right Livelihood" issue.  I know this is a topic of interest to folks here so I am echoing.  Don't worry about competing with me directly; I've already got my proposal in for "Crowdfunding: A Communal Business Model."  (I have a couple responses from people about that already; more are still welcome.)  This market does not pay in cash but you do get FOUR comp copies -- which you can take as duplicates of the issue with your article, or as a one-year subscription, your pick.


We've extended our article proposal deadline for Communities issue #152, “Right Livelihood.” We still have room for more proposals and encourage you to send us your idea. The issue will be out in September 2011.

Please send your article idea to editor@ic.org by Saturday, April 2, 2010.

Your final article must reach us by Friday, May 19, 2011.
