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 a little over a year ago1, 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.

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).

And now—the latest gleanings:

Markets and Jobs for Writers

Notice of fee-free and paying opportunities 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 some months 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.

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

One final note for this week: I’m busy preparing the free-to-all-subscribers February 2026 issue of The Practicing Writer 2.0. It will be going out slightly earlier than usual: Friday, January 30. (The monthly newsletters usually post on the last day of the preceding month, except when that day turns out to be a Saturday, because I prefer not to publish anything on the Jewish Sabbath.) As always, you can expect to find dozens of curated competitions and calls for submissions listed within. It’s never too late to subscribe!

And now—the latest opportunities:
