Happy New Year! I’m full of a cold, and I’m hoping that my fuzzy head hasn’t affected these listings \u2014 make sure to visit the websites and read the guidelines extra carefully! I’m feeling optimistic, though, because it’s not 2016 any more. Hurrah!<\/p>\n
A huge thank you to those who’ve taken the time to email me and tell me about their successes, or just to say that they like the site. It makes my day when that happens. You’re stars \u2014 and your courtesy is one of the hallmarks of the professional.<\/p>\n
New year, new writing resolutions \u2014 make yours to write, submit and enter. That, in a nutshell, is how it’s done.<\/p>\n
Cathy x<\/p>\n
Here are January 2017\u2019s writing competitions and calls for submission, all with free, electronic entry.<\/p>\n
As usual I\u2019m passing these on in good faith but mistakes may be made, so do check all the submission guidelines carefully. Any info in quotes comes from the website itself and any dates at the start are deadlines. Also, I don\u2019t know the sources personally, so do check them out for yourselves.<\/p>\n
There are three headings (click to jump straight to them):<\/p>\n
If you aren\u2019t a submitter (why not? Nothing to lose! Rejection is something we all share!) then the themes can make great writing prompts\/exercises.<\/p>\n
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!\u00a0The links are in the comments, and any dates at the start are deadlines.<\/p>\n
Where possible, I have marked the relevant entries with ‘paying’, ‘contributor copy’ etc. However, you are best off checking the info for yourselves as I am not infallible and the info isn’t always available or clear. Please be aware that a contributor copy may be in print or digital format. Also, some publications offer several things, eg payment as well as a contributor copy. Where this is the case, I have assumed that payment is enough of an incentive, so I haven’t listed everything. It’s a rough guide and should be treated as such.<\/p>\n
