The October 2020 edition of "Writing Life Essentials" is a monthly hand-curated list of contests, grants, scholarships, submissions calls, and awards. We try to prioritize opportunities that are at least one of the following: local, free to apply, and/or committed to celebrating and supporting writers from historically marginalized communities

We value your opinion. Let us know how we're doing and what you'd like to see from us in the future in our annual community survey. This survey will take less than 5 minutes, and we promise to read every comment. Plus, if you take the survey before TOMORROW, October 1st, you can enter to win a free GrubStreet multi-week class!
