Day one-hundred-sixty-three, story forty-two
I just finished and submitted my 42nd short story of the year. I started writing this on Wednesday in response to an open call for submissions I received on June 4. It's 2,100 words, contains a crime, but it's not crime fiction. It's a relationship story. Sort of.

what is the best way to hear about open call submissions for crime fiction? thank you...

I'm not certain there's a best way. You might join the Short Mystery Fiction Society at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shortmystery/. Sometimes open calls are sent to the list and sometimes members point out open calls that they've received or seen.
For links to many crime fictiokn markets--print and on-line, paying and non-paying-- check out Sandra Seamans' blog at http://sandraseamans.blogspot.com/. There's a long list of crime fiction markets on the left side of the page.
Much of my crime fiction sells to magazines and anthologies that aren't known for or don't specifically request crime fiction. So I keep an eye out for open calls in all genres and submit crime fiction to those markets if I have a story that meets other requirements.
I have not been seeing as many open calls lately.
