Descant, a Canadian literary magazine done in print only, has put out a call for poetry, short stories, essays, art and photography that fits the theme “renovation.”  Beauty, eh?  (Sorry… couldn’t help myself).  They are a paying market in the semi-pro bracket, and as a quarterly, the competition is pretty rough.  Be sure to send your cleanest, bestest, niftiest (yes, I know…) work to these folks.  Making the cut will be a real feather in thy cap.  The deadline is March 15th, 2011 and for fiction they want 1,000 to 7,500 words.

The Legendary, an eLit mag wants submissions for their Slam & Flash issue… at least, that’s how I’m interpreting this.  Generally, they take poetry, flash fiction and short stories (up to 7,500 words.)  But in this case I think they want more of the former and little or no of the latter.  The deadline is March 10th, 2011, and they are a non-paying market.

These are literary folks looking for both established and new writers.  They make a point of saying they take three months after the deadline to get back to you, which is pretty standard actually.  The theme for the March 1st, 2011 deadline is “Your Reality or Mine.”  They offer token payment for short fiction, pay semi-pro for poetry and only take hard-copy submissions (okay, so they’re not green).  They publish three times per year in print format only.
