There are three headings:
-
•Competitions
-
•Submissions With Deadlines
-
•Submissions With No Known Deadline.
If you aren't a submitter (why not? Nothing to lose! Rejection is something we all share!) then the themes can make great writing prompts/exercises.
Although I mention only fiction or poetry, many publications accept non-fiction, art or other forms, so do check if interested. Good luck and do let me know of successes!
It’s a new year – time to work towards that publication and prize success you’d like! Many thanks to all those who’ve let me know about their wins and/or publications.

5th Jan USA only: ‘The experience of people who seek abortion and other reproductive services is as varied as the individuals involved. For some, there is safety, relief, and good medical care.

Reproductive rights are also linked to a whole host of other social issues, such as economic status and the accessibility of safe, affordable health care.
