This is a list of sources, not a feed of articles. Nothing on this page changes by itself, and every listing sends you to the publication or the organization, whose own page is the current one. Headlines, where a publication publishes a feed of them, are on Publishing news today: their titles, their links, and nothing written by us.
Each listing says what the organization does for an author, in our own plain words until the organization confirms them, never a mission statement copied off their home page. We never publish a membership fee: what it costs is free, free and paid, paid, or not stated, and their own membership page carries the figure.
Basic listings are free and always will be. Being listed is not a recommendation, and nobody pays to appear.
Are you listed and want to correct or remove it? Write to us and we will send you a link to your own listing.
