Attention Writers!
Contributors Wanted for Bylines 2013 Writers Desk Calendar
We are now accepting submissions for Bylines 2013 Writers Desk Calendar and we invite dedicated, serious writers who have been published and paid for their work to submit an entry. All genres and disciplines are welcome.
Submission Guidelines
We're looking for succinct personal stories about the writing life. The oh-wow success tales, the naked truth about what motivates you, the heartache of rejection, the toughest lessons, the joy and pain of freelancing. Humor is good. Please avoid routine, trite, ordinary stories. Read the many insightful submissions in the current Bylines and you'll see what we mean. We strongly urge you to read these entries so you understand what we're looking for. The combined word count of your essay and bio should not exceed 300 words.
Writers Compensation
It's only $5, but at least you can count us as a paying market. We've added extra payments for the top three entries, of $100, $60, and $40, respectively. (Think of it as a writing contest with no entry fee, and 53 winners who all get published!) You get one free calendar and discounts on additional purchases.
Deadline
Submissions must be received no later than March 1, 2012. Writers will be notified after April 15.
