Markets and Jobs for Writers

For many years—since long before Substack arrived on the scene—I’ve been curating weekly “Monday Markets and Jobs” posts on the Practicing Writing blog, where everyone can still find them (albeit later in the day than in the past). But not too long ago, I began sharing this information early every Monday morning via Substack, too, as a benefit for paid subscribers.

Reminder: These weekly posts are supplements to the free monthly newsletter, allowing me to amplify opportunities that I may not have caught in time for each month’s edition. You can consult the May issue—packed with 50+ opportunities—here. Make sure you haven’t missed anything relevant for your writing practice that’s listed (and still open for submissions and applications) there! (Which reminds me to mention that by this time next week, the June edition will have gone out to all subscribers.)

Another note about these Monday posts: Unlike the monthly newsletter, which filters out listings that may be limited to writers in a single city/state/province, these posts do carry such localized opportunities (jobs included).

But in all cases, calls and competitions must not charge submission or application fees, and they must offer (specified) payment for winning/published work (or, in the case of residencies, they must not charge application or participation fees).

One final point: I’m wishing a meaningful Memorial Day for all of us in the United States.

And now—the latest gleanings.

For many years—since long before Substack arrived on the scene—I’ve been curating weekly “Monday Markets and Jobs” posts on the Practicing Writing blog, where everyone can still find them (albeit later in the day than in the past). But a little over a year ago, I began sharing this information early every Monday morning via Substack, too, as a benefit for paid subscribers.

Reminder: These weekly posts are supplements to the free monthly newsletter, allowing me to amplify opportunities that I may not have caught in time for each month’s edition. And believe it or not, the May newsletter will be going out to you shortly! In the meantime, please be sure that you haven’t missed any of the multiple opportunities that are still open for submissions as shared within the April editionand weekly supplements.

Jewish Literary Links

News of Jewish books and writing curated weekly on the My Machberet blog.

Toward the end of each week, the My Machberet blog presents a collection of links, drawn primarily from the world of Jewish books and writing.

  • My Jewish Learning’s new creative writing workshops, which begin next week, are “offering a space in which those wishing to write on Jewish themes can come together in community and develop and share their work — in the form of fiction, creative nonfiction or memoir. Participants will be guided by Shira Nayman, a clinical psychologist and author of five books on Jewish themes, as well as essays and short stories.” As of this writing, spaces remain in the Wednesday workshop series only; use code WRITER15 for a 15% tuition discount.
  • I won’t be attending the upcoming annual conference of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP), which takes place next week in Baltimore. But if you’re planning to be there, take note of the Jewish Writers Caucus meeting, an off-site Shabbat reading, and related conference tidbits as presented by Yetzirah.
  • No travel required for “Tell Me a Lore: Revisiting the Children’s Books of Lore Segal.” Hosted by the Leo Baeck Institute (where I am a trustee), this free online event is scheduled for next Wednesday, March 4, beginning at 2pm (Eastern time). “Professor Ellen Handler Spitz (Yale University) will give scholarly insights into Lore Segal’s work for children. Sarah Lynn Baker, Executive Director of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, as well as artists Paul O. Zelinsky, Sergio Ruzzier, and Sophie Blackall will join the conversation.” NB: This session is offered as part of a program series curated in conjunction with LBI’s current exhibition, And That’s True Too: The Life and Work of Lore Segal.
  • Another online happening on next week’s agenda: “Read with JWI x AAA: Lee Kofman and Tamar Paluch in Conversation with Erika Dreifus.” It’s the inaugural event in a brand-new series coordinated by Jewish Women’s International (JWI) and The Artists Against Antisemitism (AAA; here, too, I’m a board member). Our March 5 discussion will focus on the anthology Ruptured: Jewish Women in Australia Reflect on Life Post-October 7, co-edited by Kofman and Paluch.
  • And in case you missed it: PEN America has been in the news again lately. About 10 days ago, I wrote a letter to the editor of The New York Times about their recent coverage. Since they’ve evidently chosen not to publish it, I’ve gone ahead and done so myself.

Shabbat shalom! And (not too long after): chag Purim sameach!
