Monday brings the weekly batch of no-fee competitions/contests, paying submission calls, and jobs for those of us who write (especially those of us who write fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction).
The Practicing Writer‘s October issue went out to subscribers earlier this morning. It’s jam-packed with no-fee competition listings and news re: paying calls, so be sure to check it out if you haven’t already. (This blog post will be correspondingly leaner–thanks for understanding)

Good afternoon.
I admit that I receive your regular emails; but this is the first time I’ve actually visited your site.
It’s very nice and professionally done. Its appearance gives much to the credibility of the words written on it.
Thank you. I will be back.
With grace,
and gratitude,
Cris
What a nice message, Cris. Thanks so much. Please come back and visit the site often!
I’m so delighted to subscribe to your letter! And as I read a bit about you, I saw you were associated with J Journal! (I reviewed that journal for TheReviewReview.net!)
All best, Lita Kurth
