Here are some of my favorite places to visit when looking for publishing opportunities:
Write or Die Magazine is an online literary space and community for writers. It publishes a variety of content, including fiction, essays, and author interviews1. The magazine is particularly focused on transparency in the writing process, showcasing the day-to-day routines of writers, their messy drafts, rejections, and the hours spent staring into space23.
If you’re interested in submitting your work, they have specific submission periods for fiction, but creative nonfiction and author interviews are accepted year-round4. You can find more details on their submission page
The Journalist’s Toolbox on Substack, managed by Mike Reilley, is a valuable resource for journalists, students, educators, and marketers. It shares a variety of tools, plug-ins, browser extensions, and other AI resources that can aid in reporting, editing, data verification, and more1.
“The Forever Workshop” is a Substack newsletter by Mike Reilley, the same person behind the Journalist’s Toolbox. This newsletter focuses on providing journalists and content creators with tools, tips, and resources to enhance their work. It covers a wide range of topics, including data journalism, fact-checking, and digital storytelling.
