The Writing Submission Schedule Guide 2013 Now Available

[Josh]

More up-to-date listings than Newpages, less expensive than a year's subscription to Duotrope, The Writing Submission Schedule Guide 2013 is now available for download in mobi, epub, PDF, RTF, HTML, and other files at:
Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
Amazon's Kindle Store: http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Submiss...

and will be at most other major e-book retailers soon, if not by the time you read this.

Essentially, the guide collects hundreds (probably thousands - but I haven't taken the time to count them all) of literary journals and magazines to submit short fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and organizes them into a month-by-month guide.

So, say, it's February when your newest masterpiece is ready to submit for publication: you click on February in the Table of Contents, and get a list of which magazines are BEGINNING to accept work, which ones are CONTINUING to accept work, and which ones have ENDED their submission period.
Here is a sample entry:

Adanna Journal - reading period continues [women only: poetry, fiction, drama, book reviews, interviews]

as you can see, it lists what genres of writing the title accepts, as well as any limitations on who can submit to them. What you cannot see, is that the title of every entry contains a hyperlink that will take you directly to the journal's submission guidelines page.

In addition to the month-by-month guide, there are extensive sections on Journals that Accept Year Round, Journals that Accept Whenever They Feel Like It (or have failed to articulate when their set submission periods are), and Journals of Mysterious Status (zines that are on hiatus, have broken web-links, or haven't updated their site in a long time, etc.)

As a writer and submitter of short works, I found the process of researching markets frustrating. I would find a journal I would think is a good match for a piece, only to find that they weren't currently accepting work. As the web couldn't provide me with a comprehensive schedule of submission periods, I decided to invest my time in creating one for myself. Considering how useful the guide was for myself, I figured it would be useful to other writers, and so I put the data I had collected into an accessible format, as The Writing Submission Schedule Guide.

I invite you to preview the guide at Smashwords. The entire "chapter" on the month of January is available for review free there, to see if the entire guide would be useful to you. If you like what you see, like the Facebook page for the book [https://www.facebook.com/TheWritingSu...], or have suggestions for me, drop me a line at joshkaraczewski@sbcglobal.net, and I'll send you a coupon code. If you agree to help me spread the word for the book, through a review, or mention on your blog, social media, etc., I'll send you a code for a free copy.


Regards, and fruitful submitting!
