Writing opps & comps December and beyond

roundup of upcoming writing opportunities and competitions

Hello dear Musers

I can’t believe that we’ve got to the last month of 2024! What a year it has been!

Have you got some work ready to submit? The year is not yet out and there are still places to submit to and opportunities open for writers. There’s also some on the horizon for those wanting to hone their work in readiness for next year.

I’ve done the work hunting around for places to submit so you don’t have to. I hope there is something for you or something you can pass onto another budding writer.
