Roseway Publishing is seeking short stories for an anthology they are developing. Sandra McIntyre is the editor for this work. The topic is politics, length limit is 4,000 words, Canadian authors only (that may mean landed citizens as well as Canadians — query Sandra if that would affect your submission), and the deadline is June 12. They are willing to accept simultaneous, multiple and previously published submissions.
Roseway wants fiction, not expose or documentary. In their words: “‘Political’ is open to interpretation — stories can be about politics, whether overtly or obliquely, or political by virtue of their stance, voice, point of view, or underpinnings.”
Roseway publishes material “rooted in and relevant to struggles for social justice.” Take a look at their on-line catalogue for a better idea of what that means (http://fernwoodpublishing.ca/series/Roseway-Publishing/)
The publisher will pay $100 for “anthology rights (print and electronic rights)”.
You can email your piece(s) to: Sandra@sandralit.com

In case you have seen this call under the Fernwood Publishing label, Fernwood acquired Roseway in 2006. Roseway is their fiction arm. Fernwood, originally an academic publisher, now publishes books for a wider audience but still targets readers who are interested in social change and social justice.
