Announcing the Second Recipient of the Authors Publish Fund for Literary Journals

Earlier this month we made an announcement of a new fund for literary journals. You can learn all about this fund here.

We selected the recipient of the fund using a random number generator.

We are happy to announce that Arsenika is the second receipt of our fund and will receive 150 (US) dollars.

Arsenika focuses on publishing speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror, etc.) and poetry, primarily by marginalized writers.

What’s particularly cool to me is that Submissions may be in English, Spanish, and/or Chinese. They are a paying market.

They are currently open to submissions through the 1st of November.

Thank you to everyone who has applied.

Journals who have already submitted themselves for consideration will be considered in future draws as well. There is no need to resubmit.

There are currently only 12 literary journals on the list, so if you run a journal that needs funding, don’t hesitate to apply. If you know of a journal that needs funding, please encourage the editor(s) to apply for the funding.

We will select our third recipient in November.

How to Get Started With Writing Essays

By Ratika Deshpande The essay is a form that can take diverse appearances: travelogues, memoirs, lists, drabbles. As exciting as its variety feels, I’ve also found it frustrating that there are hardly any guides detailing how to work with the form. The following is a sort of beginner’s guide I wish I’d had when I…
