There’s a slew of new opportunities each month for submitting your short stories. That is, if you know where to look. I have my favorite places to check-out and narrowed down my list to seven interesting submission opportunities in October and November.
FYI - these are all free to submit, which is an extra bonus!
So, what are you waiting for? Join me in the excitement of furiously writing a new story or dust off that partial you were working on last spring. Whatever you do, just don’t miss an opportunity to submit your work. Need some ideas? Check out my post on writing something magical.
Sometimes having a deadline and a little pressure is just the right medicine you need to finish a work of art! Or a terrifying tale. You decide!
Just click on the opportunity that sounds interesting and read the submission guidelines carefully to decide if it's right for you.
