The one thing I recommend is that everyone join this Yahoo group. I belong to it and in the last week there have been calls for stories and I know a few people who have sold stories through this site. There are also certain days authors can pitch their work to a variety of publishers who also belong to the list.

Following Pat’s advice, I just joined this group, publishingtrove. They quickly sent me the following note, which confirms what Pat said.
Every Wednesday is pitch day. Other days specific publishers will put out calls for whatever they’re looking for at the time. It’s very productive and very businesslike — no idle chatter like you find on other Yahoo groups.
