Womagwriter is one of my favourite sites when I’m in the mood to write and submit women’s fiction short stories. Today I just read an unhappy bit of news for those of us trying to scrabble a place on the rocky writing cliff. My Weekly is now only accepting short stories from writers who have already been published with them.

I’m truly grateful for the two stories I’ve sold them. At least I can still submit. And it’s such a lovely market. The people are friendly, the illustrations of your stories fun, and when you’ve finished the magazine the world seems a warmer place. It’s a real shame that for whatever reasons they’ve narrowed the submission window.
