First Monday of the month so the monthly list of calls for submissions and contests is up. Lots of spec fic (sf, fantasy, horror, and related) options this month. Cryptids, spec-fic relationship stories, Halloween nostalgia. And for those not inclined to writing spec fic, there's themes like best dressed and modern slavery. So take a look. Maybe there's home here for something you're writing.
