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).
Coming very soon: the July issue of The Practicing Writer newsletter. As usual, it will be filled with info on no-fee contests and paying calls from publishers & litmags.
