| T-Zero Xpandazine | http://www.thewritersezine.com | Poetry: $5; Fiction: $15 | Fiction, poetry, non-fiction, essay | Original short fiction, poetry, and non-fiction, particularly non-fiction related to the craft of writing and interviews. For fiction we prefer something with a plot and resolution. If we like the main character, we are more likely to accept the story. If the main character has a problem to resolve or has to make a choice, that's conflict, and we love conflict! Too many writers confuse conflict with fight scenes. Don't be one of them. Give us a protagonist who acts, makes choices no matter how hard they are to solve his or her dilemma, not a wimp who drifts along and has to be rescued. | Guidelines at http://www.thewritersezine.com/t-zero/sub-guidelines.shtml |

| Vestal Review | http://www.vestalreview.net/ | 3 - 10 cents a word, depending. | 500 Word flash fiction. Seems any genre works at Vestal | Vestal Review is a free quarterly magazine, both print and e-zine, devoted to what we consider an underrepresented type of fiction: flash (or short-short) stories. A good flash, replete with a cohesive plot, rich language and enticing imagery, is perhaps the hardest type of fiction to write. A good flash is so condensed that it borderlines poetry. A good flash engages your mind not only for the short duration of its read, but for a long time after. | **Will not accept submission during the months of March, June, September and December** |
