I just read the following from Dan Wickett, of the Emerging Writers Network. I couldn't find word on whether Avery pays so this might be more for writers looking to get their first anthology publication than those looking to pay the rent:

I just stumbled upon a new publisher recently. They plan on publishing two anthologies per year and are looking for submissions, donations (they are a 501(c)3 not for profit entity), and other fun. Their website describes where they see the difference between the anthology and the literary journal, and while it might be a pretty fine line, it's an interesting concept. The first collection is going to have an excerpt from Stephen Dixon and a new story from Ander Monson. Here's a note from their editors: "Avery, a new anthology of previously unpublished fiction, is currently accepting stories for its first edition. Avery 1 will include stories from Stephen Dixon and Ander Monson, and will be shot through with sharp fiction from promising new writers, young and old. Avery calls itself an anthology rather than a literary magazine because it is a book that wants to be read, rather than a repository for stories by writers waiting to be published elsewhere. Avery is an end, not a means. For more information on submitting, donating, and subscribing, please visit www.averyanthology.org." So there you have it writers, one more place to submit, and readers, one more to subscribe.
