New Market for Writers

On March 1, 2009, Brain Harvest: An Almanac of Bad-Ass Speculative
Fiction will begin its intrepid voyage, bringing you the best
speculative short fiction we can find.

Brain Harvest will publish on the web and on your mobile device. We've
noticed that a lot of reading is happening in non-traditional ways
(hey, we see you, over there, glued to your iPhone or Blackberry. If
you've got ten minutes, we've got the best SFF you can hold in your
hand).

We pay "pro-rates" (5 cents a word) for stories 100 - 750 words.

We will be opening for general submissions on February 15, 2009.
Please do not submit before then--we'll delete everything dated before
2/15.

Go to http://www.brainharvestmag.com/submit for full guidelines.

DUFF Nominations are now open! This year it is Australasia - North America!

Anyone who is interested in being a DUFF candidate can contact me or Justin Ackroyd or Alan Stewart (or a number of other people in fact) for advice and help on what to do.

Cordially yours,

Julian Warner
current Australian DUFF helper

So if you could remind your groups that the DUFF race will be on this year,
and we are accepting nominations up until 15th March, 2009.

I chose that date since it's a month before SwanCon in Western Australia.
And so ballot forms could be created and sent over.

I've set the close of voting date as May 17th, 2009.
Cheers,
Norman
