Hello friends! As a writer, you know there are always opportunities for submitting your work, if you know where to look. But it can be overwhelming and take a lot of precious time you’d rather spend writing. That’s why I’m happy to share my list of open anthology calls with you, to save you the headache. And I know someday, you’ll pass along the favor to other authors in need.Â
Over the last few weeks, I’ve scoured the web, bookmarked interesting finds, and narrowed down the list to ten submission opportunities. All free to submit. One in particular is near and dear to my heart, as I have been tasked as the Guest Anthologist! The Editor of Amethyst Ink Editorial, Demi Michelle, will be joining me on this project. So make sure to click on the link and read the full description for Prom Perfect. I can’t wait to read your twist on a common coming-of-age theme.Â
So, what are you waiting for? Join me in the excitement of furiously writing a completely new story. Or dust off that partial you started last fall and rewrite it based on one of the themes below. Whatever you do, just don’t miss an opportunity to submit your work and have a chance at being published. You never know what doors that story might open for your career.Â
