Upcoming Events and Anthologies

Since I missed last Monday's Weekly Update, I realized many of you missed out on important dates for events and anthology deadlines. Well I rectified that by sharing with you that information ahead of next Monday's Weekly Update. Enjoy!

Events

May 10-12, 17-19: Sioux Empire Community Theatre’s steampunk-themed production of “The Wizard of Oz” in Sioux Falls, SD.

May 23-26: The 2013 Phoenix Comicon has a whole slew of steampunk events planned.

June 15: Applications due for the Viable Paradise writing workshop.

Also the good folks at Tor.com have once again made a great list of steampunk events for the month of May. Before going, however, you might want to read Jay Lake's article on how steampunk cons can be confusing to genre authors.

Anthologies

May 31: Last day to submit your story to Ellen Datlow’s Fearful Symmetries.

September 10: Deadline for The Housewives Go Nuclear anthology.

If you are looking for more places to submit your works to might I recommend Farther Books and World Weaver Press.

Remember if you have events or calls for submissions you would like to share with The Update's readers, send us a head's up at ahwupdate at gmail dot com.
