NB 2: Uncanny is also closed to submissions. Even digital publication is a tough gig these days.

NB: Metaphorosis is permanently closed to submissions, I now discover (the perils of announcing intentions in real time). A best-of collection of stories from Metaphorosis is available at this link, though. Just read "Heard" by Elise Forier Edie and it is great.
