Questions
What does membership include?
Full access to every database — magazines, presses, grants, contests and residencies — plus an author profile, submission tracking and the weekly newsletter. Membership is $25 a year.
Do I have to pay to be listed in the directory?
No. Any writer can claim a free directory profile. Membership unlocks the research databases and tracking tools.
How are listings verified?
We contact each organisation directly and confirm the reading period, fees and contact details before publishing, then review the entry every season.
How do I submit a book for a spotlight?
Email hello@fourthgroup.co with your title, author name, a short description and a cover image.
