Cynthia Sterling Market News

(Thanks to Fay Thompson for forwarding this on.)

First up, a couple of new epublishers I learned about this week. Keep in mind that by listing markets here, I'm not endorsing them, just sharing information.

For initial release, they are looking for new stories. They will consider reissues of previously published stories for later in 2007 (author must document that they have regained full rights to book). They are especially interested in new stories by established authors, who can bring an existing fan base with them to Cerridwen.Note that they also accept Historical-set Regencies at Cerridwen, and erotic Regencies at Ellora™s Cave.
