Creative Writers Opportunities Blog

Yahoo has decided to stop supporting GROUPS, so I've created this blog to continue posting opportunities for writers.

 The blog will officially launch on December 4, 2019.  Blog posts will be done 3 times a week: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Thanks for your patience during this transition.

    Thanks for update, Allison.
    Seems like a strange decision on Yahoo's part, but thank you very much for coming up - and so quickly - with an alternative.
    I also continue to wish you small comforts in your mourning time.

    I'm so glad you're keeping the work going! Will there be a "follow" function so we can receive emails when you post?

    I want to express my condolences on your loss. I nearly lost my husband a year ago, and so I have had a tiny taste of your grief and sorrow. My heart goes out to you in this time. I also have wanted to tell you for some time how much I appreciate the work you do with Creative Writer's Opportunities. Because of your work, I have found homes for several of my stories and poem and have been privileged to even win a couple of contests. I wouldn't have had those opportunities without you. Thank you so much for this work. You are one of the best advocates for creative writers ever.
