Speculative Ramayana Anthology: call for submissions

Zubaan Books of Delhi are looking for stories for an anthology to be edited by Anil Menon and Vandana Singh. Stories should "use the Ramayana in an essential and innovative way". They should also be speculative. "We’re looking for literary stories. Given a choice between an idea-rich but poorly-told story and a well-told but not-so-brilliant story, we’ll pick the well-told one."

Stories should be between 2000 and 700 words. Submit as RTF attachments to zubaan.antho@gmail.com. Reading period is February 14, 2010 - June 01, 2010. Payment will be Rs 1000 (about $25) plus a contributor copy.
