Happy Friday and happy February. The temperature yo-yo is back in full swing. There comes a time when you just want Mother Nature to make up her mind and stick with one…hopefully NOT the arctic cold, but she is a very fickle woman. Grab a cup of something warm like coffee, unless you are like me and have to forgo all acidic foods and beverages for the foreseeable future, and get ready to dive into our first weekly roundup of submission opportunities for February 2024…perhaps after a walk if your weather isn’t awful.

Where to Submit Roundup: January 26, 2024

47 Submission Opportunities including calls for submissions, writing contests, and book prizes.

From some negative temperatures to balmy 30s, from snow to sleet to rain. January has been quite the month for weather whiplash in the Midwest…and all over the US according to weather reports on the news. But January is almost behind us, isn’t it? In fact, this will be our last roundup of submission opportunities for the month of January 2024. Next week will be our first roundup in February. Here’s hoping for less chaos! If your neck of the woods is still having awful weather, time to stay indoors writing, editing, and submitting.

Since next week does end January, don’t forget there are several January 31 deadlines that you don’t want to miss out on. And with February upon us, it’s always a good idea to check out our Big List of Writing Contests for the upcoming month, too. We have started the new year by doing a huge update to our entire contest list, so please enjoy.

Deadline: December 1, 2023
After 40 years of singing, songwriting, and touring, Alt-Country/Americana artist Robert Earl Keen is retiring from the road. Long-time fans Sandra Johnson Cooper and Ron Cooper believe the time is right for a book that illustrates how Keen has inspired not only a generation of younger songwriters but also has influenced writers of poetry and fiction. Keen is as much a storyteller as he is a songwriter, and this anthology will be a monument of sorts to his literary talents. View our flyer and visit our website for more information.
