It's Friday again - which means it's time for another opportunities round-up! Five #writing opportunities you can apply for over the coming weekend.

Buckle up! We've got some great ones: 🧵

#FiveThingsFriday 1. @bansheelit are looking for submissions for issue 16. Open to forms including poetry, fiction & essays. Free to submit, and they pay successful contributors (rates listed online). Deadline: 31st March. bansheelit.com/submit

White Ghosts comes out tomorrow!

It’s so easy to think of writing as a solitary process - but it’s taken 7 years & all kinds of support to reach this point. So I want to take a moment to thank all those people & organisations who helped make this book possible:

🧵 First up, never underestimate the importance of a good editor - and @CommaJane at @NineArchesPress is wonderful! And the same goes for @agent_luck at @CWAgencyUK. It's so important to have that kind of core team supporting your book.

RESOURCES FOR WRITERS: a list of organisations, opportunities & support, which you really ought to have on your writerly radar, and which I wish had been on my own radar earlier in my career. Hope you find them useful. #thread #amwriting #writer If you're a writer, join @Soc_of_Authors. They're great advocates for writers' rights, & offer PDF guides on working as a writer, specific advice on contracts etc for members & discounts on books! They also offer grants for work in progress & run annual awards.

WRITERS! ARTISTS! Lend me your ears! Here are some opporrtunities you can currently apply for (and help to pay for your creative practice):
