As some of you may know, I’m co-editing issue #6 of Midnight Echo, the magazine of the Australian Horror Writers Association.  Issue #5 has now closed for submissions as below:

Submissions for our issue officially open September 1, 2010, and close on January 31, 2011 (and it should be pointed out that it’s an open call, you don’t have to be a member of the AHWA to sub).  We co-editors (David Conyers, David Kernot and myself)  have thrown together some thematic guidelines which can be found here:

and general guidelines here: http://www.australianhorror.com/index.php?view=144

So, plenty of notice for those of you who like to write a hearty blend of science fiction and horror.  Bring us your chest-bursters, your dark dystopias, your rogue nanotech.  All manner of mongrel scribings will be mulled over and considered.  Midnight Echo is an absolutely gorgeous production and your story could do worse than to appear in it!

If you have any queries, comment here or email me on mail@jasonfischer.com.au

Cheers!
