The Ralan’s Spectravaganza 2006 Grabber Contest opens for submissions on August first and sounds like a lot of fun. The way I understand it, they are looking for the first five hundred words of a two thousand - six thousand word story. The top five winners will send their finished (polished, editor ready) stories in for consideration by 1 October 2006.

Here’s the list of prizes:

Save Talebones by Jeremiah Sturgill, posted on July 16, 2006 | Comments (0)

Talebones is a great semi-pro print magazine that’s been around for forever. It prints good stories, by good authors–and it’s having some financial trouble.

We’re having a subscription drive and single-copy order PUSH! A few days ago we had decided #33 would be our last issue due to lack of funds, not enough renewals, not enough new subscribers. But now we’re making a last plea. We will have an issue #34, but depending on orders for #33 and/or new subscriptions and renewals, #34 may be the final issue. We’d rather keep publishing, into 2007 and beyond. Won’t you help?

If you’ve never read them, stop by the site and order a single issue. If you like it, think about subscribing. There aren’t enough short fiction venues out there, and Talebones gets it right more than most.

This should be my last post before the beach.

Now go order a magazine.
