Monday Morning Markets/Jobs/Opportunities

This weekend I completed the most recent update of our biggest e-book: the Guide to No-Cost Literary Contests and Competitions. It now profiles 275 contests, fellowship competitions, residency programs, and scholarships open to writers that don't charge application or entry fees. And it doesn't contain any listings that are limited to the residents of a single state or province (more value for your purchase this way). So check it out. You can learn more and download a free preview with sample listings right here.
