Yes! Sub Club has been around for (nearly) one year! Yes! That means we still shit our pants and cry a lot! No! That’s not likely to change anytime soon.1 But hey, we’ve got some other exciting changes to make up for it. Ready? Let’s do it.
First, a not so big one you probably didn't notice, but we're changing our name to just "Sub Club" rather than “The Sub Club Newsletter” because it sounds better, we think. ‘I’m in Sub Club’ vs ‘I subscribe to the Sub Club Newsletter’ you know?
Second: We’ll be adding in a lot more exclusive novel publishing and agent-finding lists in the coming months in a new section headed up by
who has recently joined our team at Chill Subs.Third! We have a new look and feel designed by Nikita & Mariam. We’ve updated everything; logo, welcome image, lists, about, archive of lists, all of it.
You can explore it on our homepage after you finish this.
OK, now for the fun content updates.
New weekly report of submission opportunities
We have developed a brand new recurring free list of opportunities that will come out every Monday from now on. Since folks really like our opening & closing lists, we’ve decided to combine them into a weekly report called, Where to submit this week (I know, we’re—like—really good at naming things).
Oh, but it doesn’t stop there. For all subscribers, this report will include:
Submission calls that opened in the past week.
Submission calls that will be closing in the next week.
Curated selection of themed submission calls
New magazines added to our database this week
All literary magazines mentioned will come with detailed information like:
All accepted genres with fee and pay info
founding dates and country
brief description and link to their listing
acceptance rate and response time statistics where available
noteworthy tags of things we love about them
And this is just the beginning! As we develop our data and flows, we will be adding in sections for indie presses, agents, where to pitch, and vetted writing contests. This report will be completely free and come with a spreadsheet download for paid subscribers.
Our first Where to submit this week report will come out on Monday, April 29th!
We have several other fun content updates we’ll be rolling out over the next month. Our plan is to implement, refine, perfect, then launch the next thing. We are open to any and all feedback along the way. Our goal is to make this the most comprehensive and enjoyable place to discover new ways to participate in the writing world.
Thank you for your continued support. It’s what keeps us going (literally and figuratively).
Yes we made that joke when Chill Subs turned one…because it’s funny
Good for you and for us too! Sounds great!
I had a wee heart attack when I went into the tracker when it kept saying bad gateway (or maybe something else, I don't know computers) and then I remembered whenever that happens there tends to be a change that was made, so I waited patiently and voila, c'est vrai.
