Outshine - a tweet-length market

http://shineanthology.wordpress.com/outshine-submission-guidelines

Outshine is in dire need of submissions. A Twitterzine for optimistic, near future prose poems. They’re flash length, and look ahead. Looking for: prose poems of optimistic, near future SF that fit within the ‘tweet’ limits (check out Twitter); i.e. maximum 140 characters long. Pays $5 each. Limit one submissionper week. Only pays through PayPal.

NOTE: $5 isn't much, but neither is 140 characters. If for no other reason, use this as practice for good tweeting (and yes, there is an art to a good tweet).

DOUBLE NOTE: Health is improving. Still crouped up a bit (it's been almost a month!). I'm actually going outside today once the newsletters are out to you wonderful people. My chickens are outgrowing their box in the garage and I need to get them into their new, beautiful coop, but still have two posts to cement and fence to string. I'll be sure to carry cough drops in my pocket and stay warm.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. You know those poor chickens want to be in their coupe, try an wrnagle a neighbor to help you finish up.

I so haven't figured out the whole twitter thing. What about you? Nathan had something about it on his blog today.

Once I've finished up a few projects I'll work on figuring it out....

Have a great weekend!

I've sorta figured out Twitter. It can be a lot of work and time invested if you let it. However, it also keeps folks connected on a more personal level. After all, where else can you receive "tweets"/info directly from celebrities, authors, publishers, agents, etc. Once you get into it, it is quite intense. Jobs are posted on it, calls for submissions. I've made a couple of professional contacts on it that surprised me. Just don't let it overwhelm you or gobble up your day. It sure can.
