Editor Jennifer Brozek announces that she has closed submissions for The Edge of Propinquity for 2008 (because she’s bought enough stories to fill out the year), and that she’s now opening submissions for 2009. The Edge of Propinquity is “a series of short stories exploring the world around us that lurks just beneath the surface. It is the world of the unexplained, supernatural, magic, horror, duty, responsibility, black humor, conspiracy, unknown heritage, and power.”
All submissions must fit the theme, which for 2009 is “Compromise” (previous annual themes have included “Revelations”, “Consequences”, and “Retaliation”). The Edge of Propinquity publishes one story each month, and pays $50. Stories should be 2,000-6,000 words, and submitted via e-mail. Full submission guidelines are available on this page.
