This is slightly crossposted from another forum, but someone thought you all may be interested in this, and I hope so, too, so:
Hello, Absolute Write forumfolk! I'm the editor of Third Order, a new webzine for short fiction that engages with issues of faith and religion. We are open to all genres and sub-genres of fiction, including mainstream, traditional, experimental, and speculative short fiction, save horror.
We work on the presumption that faith and religion reach out, in some way, to all people; that they fire both mass movements and single human hearts; and that, instead of being forgotten remnants of a bygone age, they are crucial elements of what it means to be human in the modern world.
My eventual goal is to pay professional rates, and the best way to to do that is to publish high-quality, amazing fiction. Right now, though, we're paying $10 for stories under 4,000 words and $20 for stories between 4,000 and 10,000 words. Our first reading period starts now and ends on August 4th for our September 15th publication date.
Third Order is located here: http://www.thirdorder.org (http://www.thirdorder.org/). Our submissions guidelines are located here: http://www.thirdorder.org/submissions.htm. Please read them! They're a bit long, but reading our guidelines will help writers understand what kind of story we're looking for, and contain instructions as to how to submit (e-subs only).
Good luck with your writing, and many blessings to all!
