Why subscribe?

Subscribe for free to receive the complete monthly newsletter, which is always laden with dozens of fee-free, paying/funded opportunities to support your writing practice, along with subscriber success stories, featured resources, and more. Never miss a monthly update! (Paid subscribers receive additional benefits, including full archive access and first looks at weekly opportunity supplements, which are later shared with the public on the Practicing Writing blog.)

Stay up-to-date

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the monthly newsletter goes directly to the inbox of each free subscriber (again, paid subscribers also receive weekly supplements, early and directly.)

Join the crew

Be part of a time-tested community of writers—the very first issue of The Practicing Writer went out to a small group of subscribers, via Yahoo!Groups, in early 2004—who share an affinity for expertly-curated opportunities and other resources to cultivate the practice of writing.
