Just sneezed a hole in the universe.

as we are 2 days away from reopening to fiction, a few things to remember:

1. death ☑️

2. we encourage writers from all around the world to submit. We will pay you on whatever platform is best for YOU (not just paypal).

3. fast response, like decomposing in super rich soil...

Open submission calls for writers: August 2023 No newsletter this month due to the usual summer-holiday chaos, but I was determined not to neglect my gathering of open submissions calls for writers… Do sign up for my email newsletter if you want...

Here’s the list for August, featuring stories about microbes, escalators (!) & more: https://timjmajor.com/2023/08/10/open-submission-calls-for-writers-august-2023/
