The May 2022 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 do the research, so you have more time for what matters: the writing. Or, prowling bookstores. That’s important, too.

Every month, we celebrate successes of all stripes! In April, Grubbies were published in literary journals across the country, won awards and prizes, published books, and so much more. Our community closed April 2022 out with 38 publications, five book publications, three awards and prizes, and one book deal
