Writing opps, comps & prompts – Issue 12, 2025

a roundup of upcoming writing opportunities and competitions, and a writing prompt

Hello dear Musers

This newsletter is for you to take what you need. There are upcoming writing residencies, fellowships, opportunities and competitions that are correct at time of publishing and a writing prompt to take into your writing.

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.

This issue is a bumper one! I’ve scoured the emails that have flooded my inbox after a couple of months of inattention so I’m sure there’s somewhere for you to apply for a residency, submit to a competition or to a literary journal.

This newsletter is a perk for my paid subscribers.
