The weekly batch of no-fee, paying 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). These posts are intended to complement/supplement monthly issues of The Practicing Writer newsletter, where you’ll always find more listings, none of them limiting eligibility to residents of a single municipality, state, or province (this blog, on the other hand, does sometimes include those more restricted opportunities). 
Electric Literature’s “The Commuter” feature is open for poetry submissions until June 12. Payment: “If your work is selected, we can offer a total payment of $100.”

Attention, writers based in England: “The National Centre for Writing is collaborating with Passa Porta and the Flemish Literature Fund to offer a one-month writing residency in Brussels in 2020. The residency is part of an exchange, with the National Centre for Writing hosting a writer from Flanders in Norwich. This residency will offer the writer a quiet place to write. There will also be opportunities to take part in public events in Flanders and Brussels, as well as to meet and collaborate with fellow authors and translators. This opportunity is open to England-based writers of novels, short stories or poetry, children’s or young adult literature or literary non-fiction. The author must have had at least one work published by a literary publisher (not self-published).” NB: “The writer will be offered free accommodation in a self-catering flat at the Passa Porta house of literature. This distinctive and comfortable flat has a floor area of 90 sq. m. and looks out over the picturesque Oude Graanmarkt (Old Grain Market). Its entrance is separate from that of Passa Porta and is on the Oude Graanmarkt, close to the Grand Place. The flat comprises a living room, a study, a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen. It is equipped with an internet connection, printer, television and if required a laptop. A telephone is available at the guest’s expense. The National Centre for Writing will cover the cost of travel to and from Brussels and will pay a small stipend towards living expenses.” Deadline: June 17, 2019.

“The Bitch Media Fellowships for Writers applications are now open! A series of three-month intensive writing fellowships, the goal is to develop, support, and amplify emerging, diverse voices in feminist, activist, and pop-culture media. All fellows will work under the guidance of Bitch cofounder Andi Zeisler. The fellowships were created in order to cultivate and amplify new voices. If you are a writer who has minimal publication experience, we strongly encourage you to apply. If you are passionate about one of the above subject areas but do not have a history of writing or blogging about them, we strongly encourage you to apply. If you are a writer still figuring out what subjects obsess you, we strongly encourage you to apply.” Included with each fellowship is a $2,000 stipend. Application deadline: June 30, 2019.
