Upcoming Magazine Submission and Other Deadlines as of November 9, 2018

Please contact Sylvia Skene if you do not see your deadline listed here. We reserve the right to post only those contests, submission periods and deadlines of interest to or from our members.

Tip: if you wish to submit your work to a magazine by deadline, sooner really is better, as by the closing date most pieces have been selected. Any other work–however great–that doesn’t complement these pieces will likely not be picked up for publication.
