Steampunk Quarterly – Writers Wanted

From

Dr. van Klausen via email, comes this:

Greetings!

For the first issue of our steampunk story zine “Steampunk Quarterly”, which hopefully will be published in February, we still need more stories.

So we put out an announcement for every steampunk writer out there to send us her or his story. Every story published will be rewarded with $50. The length of the tales should be between 7,000 and 9,000 words.

Stories can be submitted to stories@steampunkquarterly.com . Our website is, of course, Steampunk Quarterly

It's a lovely invitation. People shouldn't whinge so much. It's a fun challenge and 7,000 words isn't so much! Deal me in. ;-)

SFWA guidelines for Associate membership:

One Paid Sale of prose fiction (such as short stories) to a Qualifying Professional Market, paid at the rate of 5c/word or higher (3c/word before 1/1/2004), minimum $50.

Not quite 1c/w really doesn't cut it if they want to attract talent...

Isn't that something like $0.005 a word? That's kinda crap for a story, actually. No decent publisher is going to pay a writer that little. There's also I find it a bit worrisome that they're offering a flat rate per story, not per word. There was a whole hullabaloo about publishers who use practices like this not a month or two ago.
