Opportunities Update for Practicing Writers

May'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 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—below. 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.)

Of course, paid subscribers also have direct access here on Substack to the archive of weekly supplements, including those for May 4, May 11, and May 18.

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.
