Lit mags in the UK & ireland

For those who are new to this blog, I just wanted to let you know that I have just updated my Ever-Growing List of Uk & Ireland Literary Magazines that published short stories... we're up to 117 now, although a few have shut down since I began keeping the list. If you go to the blog post, you can download a PDF of the updated list too. And see the Addendum - good news, the Best of British Short Stories has been resurrected by my publisher, Salt, and Nicholas Royle is at the moment compiling the stories, the book will be published in April!

Quick roundup

We're away overnight, getting away from all the packing up still left to do before moving countries in 13 days, so this is just a quick announcement of some nice news:

• Two of my flash stories have been accepted for Pedestal Magazine's flash-only issue in August, an older flash and a brand new one, which is lovely - and they pay! I believe there are still two more days left before submissions close, so send yours off.
• I am thrilled that PANK magazine have nominated my flash story, Missy, which was published in their Jan 2009 issue, for the Best of the Net anthology! You can read the story here (scroll down). Congrats to my fellow nominees: Catherine Zickgraf, Caitlin Johnson, Lauren Wheeler, Brad Johnson, Stephen Mills, Peter Schwartz and my Zoetrope mate Tim Jones-Yelvington. Links to all their pieces on the PANK blog.

I've never been nominated for anything like this before, it was a wonderful surprise to wake up to this morning. Thanks, PANK!
