Very recently, I have decided to start submitting my writing for publication.  I haven’t submitted anything in at least 5 years!  It can be a tedious and frustrating process, I know, but it is also wonderful to to know that something of yours has been accepted and will be published.  It is all worth it.

I would love for you to use this space to share any contests or call for submissions that you are aware of.  I am looking to submit short stories and poetry, but if you know of any sources at all, please post them here so that other readers may benefit from the sources as well.

Here are two that I came across recently (and submitted work to!):

A call for fiction pieces at Narrative Magazine – https://narrativemagazine.com/shared/contest_closed.php and a call for poetry or personal experiences for books and greeting cards at Blue Mountain Arts – http://www.sps.com/greetingcards/writers_guidelines.htm.  Good Luck!  ~Melissa  🙂
