Midweek Notes from a Practicing Writer
Three quick updates.
(more…)Welcome to Practicing Writing! Here you’ll find updates on writing and publishing opportunities (especially handy between issues of our popular monthly newsletter). You’ll discover ONLY opportunities that charge no fees, and ONLY publications/contests that will pay for your writing. The blog also shares writing-related news and resources and updates regarding this practicing writer’s own work.
Three quick updates.
(more…)For those of you who may count on our post schedule, a quick heads-up: This will be the final post from Practicing Writing for a week. Expect the next post to arrive next Wednesday, May 18. This means that we’ll skip this Friday’s “Finds” post, the #SundaySentence, and next Monday’s “Markets and Jobs.” (No need to worry—everything’s fine, and I’ll be back!)
Now, for some quick updates.
(more…)Each week in this space, Practicing Writing shares no-fee, paying markets for writers of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction: competitions, contests, and calls for submissions. These weekly posts complement 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. (But this blog does share those more localized opportunities, including jobs.)
As always, if you’d like to share a specific opportunity listed here, please credit the blog for the find. Thanks for respecting the time and effort that I put into researching, curating, and posting this information! I do notice, and I appreciate the courtesy.
(more…)Every weekend I participate in David Abrams’s “#SundaySentence” project, sharing the best sentence I’ve read during the past week, “out of context and without commentary.”
We inherited these stories as we inherited our hair colors, the shape of our faces.
