calls for submission

Up-to-date listing of calls for submission is at the following website. If you’re interested, you can copy it and paste it into your browser. Note the listing is compiled by Writers’ Relief, an organization that will submit your writing to various possible publishers and [I believe] literary agents for a price. I’m not endorsing or not endorsing their services—just saying.

writing opportunities March 25, 2014

I don’t know anything about the following but they could be worth investigating if you’re into their kinds of things.

 

Neutrons Protons, a monthly journal of creative nonfiction; the editors seek "your McSweeney's rejects."

TAYO, which looks for "writing that knifes, lifts, and strikes at the emotive truth of all things lost and adrift."
