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 2014 In Cahoots Collaboration Contest is open for submissions. For collaborative work only: “This means all submissions must be created by 2+ people.” NB: “All submissions must include a literary component but may include or be paired with a visual or audio component.” $50 cash prize. Deadline: October 1, 2014. No entry fee. (h/t CRWROPPS-B)

In turn, Poets & Writers will provide a comprehensive apprenticeship in one of three program areas.”
