The Opportunity Map: How to Find, Judge, and Choose the Right Places for Your Writing

Finished a story, poem, or essay and not sure where it should go? The Opportunity Map is a clear, practical guide to finding the right places for your writing on your own.

It walks you through literary magazines, anthologies, contests, small presses, grants, residencies, fellowships, and online platforms, then shows you how to search for current openings with free and paid tools. You will learn how to judge whether a venue is legitimate, how to recognize predatory offers and fee traps, and how to build a realistic, well-matched submission list.

It covers Canadian and international opportunities, with a dedicated Canadian chapter, and it includes six printable worksheets, a red flag checklist, a resource directory, and a glossary.

71-page PDF, US Letter. No hype, no promises, just a reliable map.
