I had an email from Rob Tucker, of Circalit, about two writing opportunities to pass on to you. Neither of these charges an entry fee and neither pays, so I recommend them only if you're interested in the potential exposure. To qualify for the flash fiction one you have to review three stories by other writers on the site. Take a look at the rules yourself to decide whether these are right for you.
LAUNCH YOUR SCI-FI STORY INTO THE COSMOS!
Cosmos, founded in 2004, is a literary science magazine that reaches 40,000 readers every month around the globe, and covers everything from science fact to science fiction. Cosmos are now on the lookout for innovative science fiction short stories that that make you think about the future in a different way. The winning short story will be printed in the next issue of Cosmos Magazine, and the two runners-up will see their work published on Cosmos Online.
