Mid-Month #MondayMotivation

An even dozen opportunities to energize your week.

*For many years—since long before Substack arrived on the scene—I’ve been curating “Monday Markets and Jobs” posts on the Practicing Writing blog, where everyone can still find them (albeit slightly later in the day). But I’ve begun sharing this #MondayMotivation via Substack, too, as a benefit for paid subscribers.

Quick reminder: Unlike the monthly newsletter, which filters out listings that may be limited to writers in single city/state/province, these weekly posts do include such localized opportunities. In all cases, calls and competitions must not charge submission/application fees, and they must offer payment for winning/published work, (or, in the case of residencies, they must not charge fees for attendance/participation).
