The Let’s Get Published website and upcoming online mastermind for writers are all about taking action and actually getting published.
It took me years to have the guts to submit my work, and I regret having wasted so much time beginning to establish my name.
Once I finally began submitting, guess what happened?
I got published!
Within the last year, I had one flash fiction, two short stories, one essay, an interview, and a book review accepted for publication.
Becoming a writer is hard, but not as hard as we make it for ourselves.
I’d like to share with you and amazing resource called Authors Publish. It’s a weekly email that lists the best publishers of books, magazines, ezines, and more. They cover fiction, non-fiction, and poetry!
If you are ready to submit, this list is a huge timesaver. If you are not ready to submit, it’s a great way to explore what publishers are seeking and where you can fit in.
I’ll be sharing any great resources I find on Dear Writer. We’d all love to be getting our work out there, but it’s hard to keep track of writing contests and submission deadlines.
Today I want to introduce you to CompsandCalls.com. It’s a free website that provides a monthly list of free-to-enter writing competitions, contests, and calls for submission for all genres in one spot.
I connected with its creator, Cathy Bryant in 2015, and the service she provides writers is amazing.
Here’s a little bit about Comps and Calls.
Tired of being expected to buy litmags and pay submission fees just to have your work considered? Can’t afford to pay hefty writing competition fees? Don’t have time to rally thousands of Facetwit followers to vote for your story or poem? Then spend some time here, browsing my listings of free-to-enter writing competitions and calls for submission, all of which can be entered online and not via post/mail!
The listings are updated on the first of every month, with the odd top-up in between. Subscribe here.
Cathy prepares these massive lists herself. It’s a huge time-saver for writers so if you enjoy using this great resource, be sure to leave her a PayPal tip or become a member of Cathy’s Patreon.
Don’t forget to follow Comps and Calls on Facebook and Twitter.
And get Cathy’s book, How To Win Writing Competitions (and Make Money), on Amazon USand Amazon UK.
Don’t forget to enter your 1000-5000 word flash fiction or short story to our contest.
