Opportunities Update for Practicing Writers

April's final weekly supplement to the monthly newsletter—early & direct for paid subscribers; available later, as indicated, for everyone.

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. 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 edition.

You’ll also want to check for anything still-open that you may have missed within the weekly supplements posted since then: April 6, April 13, and April 20.

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).
