> Is being "sponsored" (meaning more or less not having to earn a paycheck) the brass ring for writers struggling to find/make/take enough time to seriously pursue their projects?

> Interested in exploring Canadian literary magazines and journals? Here's a handy round-up (the post date reads 2013, but it was just updated last week).
> The Freelancer offers 17 journalism conferences worth your time in 2015. (Including the ASJA Annual Conference, where I'm pleased to be on a panel about writing groups.)
> Poet Jessica Piazza is submitting only to paying venues in 2015, and chronicling (tumbling?) her experiences (plus talking with other poets and editors) at Poetry Has Value. (hat tip Erika Dreifus)
> Another great listening experience - Donna Talarico, founder/editor of the online creative nonfiction journal Hippocampus, on the Higher Ed Social podcast, discussing juggling teaching and editing, and some interesting Hippocampus behind-the-scenes re: submissions, selection, etc.
> Looking for "feminist/inclusive" places to submit writing? The Fem has a list. (hat tip The Review Review)
