Drollerie Press is seeking entries for a pair of short anthologies.
• Trafficking in Magic deals with the sale and transport of magical goods and services, including magical beings, artifacts, fortune telling, communing with the dead, and other spells for hire, or the sale of magical energy itself;
• Magicking in Traffic deals with magic in the flow of traffic–which could be street traffic, commerce, the flow of energies, or something else entirely–whether to aid, block, or manipulate the flow of traffic, or simply to play in it.
Creative interpretations of the title(s) are also encouraged.
Both will be edited by Sarah Avery (author of Closing Arguments and Atlantis Cranks Need Not Apply) and David Sklar (author of Shadow of the Antlered Bird). The two e-books will be sold together as a pair. If sales warrant a print edition, it will be set back-to-back in a single book with 2 front covers.
Contributors are encouraged to send 1 short story or up to 3 poems. Query first if sending fiction over 12,000 words or poetry over 100 lines.
Submissions close January 5, 2010. Send submissions for this anthology only to magic@drolleriepress.com

Wow, both of these sound very interesting. Did you post this up at Duotrope.com? Maybe I missed it.
Peace,

Is that 1 short story for either anthology or can we submit a story to both?

@Lyss,
Hi Lyss,
You’re actually the third person to ask that question. If you want to submit one story for each half you may, but we aren’t likely to publish both unless they are short and resonate very well off of one another.

I just heard about this one and have almost completed a story for it. Such a great premise!

I like the premise, too. Doesn’t mean I’ll get to it.
Anyone mind if repost the call?

I’m sorry, I’m new here and I’m not sure exactly HOW to send in my submission. Do you want it as a doc or rtf file? Should it be attached to the email or in the body of the email? Thank you for the clarification.

@Trudy Myers, Hi Trudy, thanks for asking. The file should be an RTF attached to the email. Your email should contain your cover letter information.
