more power and control over the fate of the world than a mother. Whether it’s
an evil stepmother or a virtuous mother-to-be, there are stories inherent in
the acts of mothering and being mothered; mothers become heroes and villains.
The concept of motherhood is examined and stretched to its ultimate limits
across time, space, gender, location, and concept. Deliciously dark, each tale
forces us to examine the depth and breadth of what motherhood is and what a
mother will do for her offspring.

1. PodCastle (Fantasy Fiction Podcast)
http://podcastle.org/guidelines/
Description: Publishes in both
text and audio. Looking for fantasy stories. We’re open to all the sub-genres
of fantasy, from magical realism to urban fantasy to slipstream to high
fantasy, and everything in between.
2. Cast of Wonders (Y.A. Fantasy Fiction Podcast)
http://www.castofwonders.org/submissions/schedule
Description: Stories that evoke a sense of wonder and have something unreal about
them. We aim for a 12-17 age range: that means sophisticated, non-condescending
stories with wide appeal, and without explicit sex, violence or pervasive
obscene language. Think Harry Potter or The Hunger Games.
3. Escape Pod (Science Fiction Podcast)
http://escapepod.org/guidelines/short-fiction
Description: Our mandate is fun. We are fairly flexible on what counts
as “science” (as we’ll delve into superheroes or steampunk on occasion) and are
interested in exploring the range of the genre, but we are not looking for
fantasy, magical realism, or more than a tinge of horror. If your story isn’t
centered on science, technology, future projections, alternate history, and how
any or all of these things intersect with people, we’re probably not the right
market for it.
4. Pseudopod (Horror Fiction Podcast)
http://pseudopod.org/submissions
Description: Horror: dark, weird fiction. We run the spectrum from grim realism or
crime drama, to magic-realism, to blatantly supernatural dark fantasy. We
publish highly literary stories reminiscent of Poe or Lovecraft as well as
vulgar shock-value pulp fiction; strong pacing, well-defined characters,
engaging dialogue, and clear action.

for, but we won’t say no to more subtle or complicated topics.
