Monday brings the weekly batch of no-fee, paying listings of competitions, contests, and calls for submissions—plus jobs for those of us who write (especially those of us who write fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction).
Since a new issue of The Practicing Writer went out to subscribers just this morning, and since it’s (as usual) packed with about 20 no-fee contests and calls for submission (all of which offer payment), I’m going to leave it to you to peruse those listings on your own; the rest of this weekly post will focus on jobs, which aren’t routinely covered in the newsletter.
