Hey, I sent out six yesterday, almost all to SFWA publications, which for some reason is a real anxiety-fest for me. Still, they're out, so that means seven possibilities now.
And I found this cool thing on the Grinder, Crossed Genres is doing a call for an anthology. They want something from our world, real or alternate history, 1935 or before, with a protag that's 18 or under and from a marginalized ethnic group. Sounded interesting to me, so I thought I'd toss it into the ring in case anyone else is interested. Here's a copy of the Grinder's blurb.
"Your story must be set before 1935 C.E. (NO exceptions), and take place primarily in our world or an alternate historical version of our world. (Travel to other worlds, other dimensions, Fairyland, the afterlife, etc. is fine but should not be the focus.) Your protagonists must be young people (under the age of 18) who were marginalized in their time and place. By “marginalized” we mean that they belong to one or more groups of people that were categorically, systematically deprived of rights and/or economic power. Examples in most times and places include enslaved people, indigenous people, queer people, laborers, women, people with disabilities, and people who do not share the local dominant religion, language, or ethnicity. Many people belong to multiple marginalized groups, and many are marginalized in some ways and privileged in others. Your story should acknowledge the complexity and intersectionality of marginalization. Your story must contain a significant element of science fiction, fantasy, horror, or the weird, without which the story would not work or would be a substantially different story. - See more at: http://longhidden.com/hidden-youth-submissions/#sthash.HRS52spJ.dpuf"
