Happy Friday the 13th, and welcome to my online home! As part of your October Frights Blog Hop tour, let’s talk more about turning scribbles into treasure. I’m still on my soap box on why you can benefit from giving your work away for free and then gave you an E4 approved way to do it. Today, I want to mention my latest favorite thing I give away for free that brings me back loads of value: my Authortunities newsletter.

You may have seen my subtle (or maybe not so subtle) mentions of it throughout this blog hop. It’s my weekly calendar mail out stuffed with author opportunities arranged by date so you can find what is available when you have time for it. The newsletter always has an advance two weeks of calendar free, and if you really want to be ahead you can subscribe for $5 a month/$50 a year. Most people just subscribe with the free option. The next Authortunities publishes Saturday morning so this is the perfect time to check it out. You can find it here: authortunities.substack.com.
Each issue is packed with open calls, reprint markets, classes, grants, contests, awards and more organized by emoji. Yes, by emoji 😂. This makes it easy to search through the newsletter using ctr-f and find exactly what you are looking for. Here’s what a listing usually looks like:
There’s also always the link to download a free issue of Space and Time magazine [spaceandtime.net] on Amazon. But that will all be available tomorrow in which I will share some of my favorite high value markets.
