This time of year, it can be hard to make deadlines. The holiday bustle can take up so much of your attention, that before you realize it a deadline for a publication opportunity has passed. Take some of the pressure off publishing and use that time to craft something you know will get accepted.
We’ve curated three publishing opportunities that have no deadline for submissions, so you can put your effort towards your writing.
Here’s a pro-tip on how to ensure your work gets selected: talk to a professional who understands what literary journals, writing contests, and publishers look for in submissions. I can work with you on your first 5 pages. You will receive tailored feedback and feel 100% ready to publish. Drop yourself into my calendar here. Spaces are limited.
If these aren’t your thing, no worries. We put out a curated list of the latest publishing opportunities each week. Be sure to check back here in 7 days for 3 more opportunities! Never miss a publishing opportunity again. Click below to sign up.
