the CRWROPPS list

If you're having trouble keeping up with all the magazine, chapbook, and book contests, and the calls for submissions for various anthologies, and other publishing types of opportunities, and you're just too dang poor to subscribe to Poets and Writers (plus you find yourself crippled by envy when you look at the people featured inside), I highly recommend joining CRWROPPS, the Creative Writers Opportunities listserv. You can get a daily digest email (or no e-mail at all) with the most recent updates and calls for submissions, and it's set up as a Yahoo group, and quite easy to use. You can also view the archives online for free, anytime.

If you have a call for submissions you'd like posted on CRWROPPS, you can email it to Allison Joseph, the group moderator. But please do not bother her with silly questions about the contests. She does not run them. She just sets up the list out of the goodness of her heart, for the benefit of other writers. Truly wonderful!
