I think it's fair to say most of us dream of living off our writing, and dreams are healthy, but to write a book is hard work, to market a book is harder still, and to resonate with readers who give you the buzz of word of mouth that's like...

Not many writers can make a full time job out of fiction writing. Nice work if you can get it. Many successful authors need other income streams - teaching, editing, ghost-writing for famous people - or other professions altogether. Even for...

There actually is a submission and acceptance process in order to get published. I appreciate that may not be clear until you get through to the writers desk part of the website, (where the submission process is laid out in detail.) This is an...

I have written 3 strong short stories. I've submitted two which got honorable mention on writers of the Future. One I self-published as an ebook and an audiobook, mostly as an experiment and as a reader magnet. I will submit the third one later...

From Shakespeare to Brendan Sanderson it boils down to this. Do this and Bobs Your Uncle. I'd say we all would love to be able to make a living from writing, but have come to accept that probably won't happen. I support 13 Spanish Mustangs. We...

I decided to join the Patreon which I think entitles me to submit year round. I really like the feel of the mag. They have zoom calls where you talk about writing ghost stories and horror and I think that sounds like fun.

Hi @brendancody I had a look, and whilst it's visually appealing, and I admire your effort, I don't think this is for me. Am I correct in thinking there is no submission/acceptance or editorial process? That's a red flag for me. It's not...

Ah, that's a shame they closed early. I think it said follow of Facebook or X for submission calls, but I'm not on either. I get most of my sub calls via Chill Subs or Authors Publish. This one was from Chill Subs - they always announce tight to...

Oh thanks Sedan. I'd not heard of it. I'll have a look! Submit DUE TO AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE TO OUR SUBMISSIONS WINDOW< WE ARE NOW CLOSED!! Please wait for the next submissions window to open before sending your work I'll wait for the...

Ooh! A new limited edition of Howl's moving castle! . . . How much? Eh, no.

Hey @Pamela Jo have you come across The Ghastling before? https://theghastling.com/submit/ It's not a magazine I've ever read, so I can't vouch for the quality, but it sounds like your kind of genre, no? Their current submission window closes...
