Publication Opportunities on
Anitra's World Wide Web

Up front #1: None of these venues pay any money. The value you receive in exchange for your work is exposure, publishing credits for your writer's resume, and the rewarding feeling of participating in a good cause.

Up front #2: Soliciting contributions is not a guarantee to accept them.

What I Co-Edit

Real Change News "street newspaper" in Seattle, Washington, publishes information about issues of homelessness, poverty, and labor, often written by homeless or low-income people themselves, and the paper is sold on the streets by vendors looking for an immediate income with dignity. I am one of an editorial committee of eight, all of whom are homeless, previously homeless, or low-income. We publish poetry, very short fiction (1200 words or less), articles and essays, and artwork. If published, you can get 10 free copies of the issue your work appears in, a street value of $10. More information at http://www.realchangenews.org/real_change_org/index.html. Print sales average 30,000 issues a month. Many selections are reprinted on the website, which gets approximately 3000 unique visitors a day. Send submissions by email, text or attachment, to editor@realchangenews.org.
