10 Places to Submit Your Writing This Summer
I have compiled a list of publications, magazines, and contests that are worth entering — better yet most of them are free and easy to enter!
For each publishing opportunity I’ll walk through:
What They Accept: This will allow you to get an idea of what type of work they publish (e.g. short stories, poetry, etc.).
Requirements: Age/geographic location requirements if applicable (not inclusive of content requirements such as line/word count)
Deadline: I will give you the deadline of the most current opportunity they are recruiting for (some are year-round though!).
Method: This will cover how to submit (through their website, Submittable, or email).
Submission fee: Some contests charge a submission fee, or even worse, a hidden fee. This refers to publishers whose goal is to sell you expensive personalized products, attract you to conferences, and/or charge you membership or service fees. Their motive is questionable and can be obtained elsewhere for free, so I have made sure to list publications that are either free or legit enough to charge a reading/processing fee.
In order to stay away from hidden fees, check out this website for a full list of Contests and Services to Avoid.
