Hi, I’m Rafal Reyzer
I built this site for writers: anyone with a manuscript, a poem or an essay who is looking for the right place to send it.
What you’ll find here
The heart of the site is the guide to 2,000+ publishing companies: lists by genre and region that show who publishes what, who accepts submissions without an agent, and where to submit. Around it you’ll find resources for the craft, from great essays and vocabulary lists to essay markets.
My story
I grew up in a small town in Poland and was always a dreamer who preferred progress, opportunity and adventure to safety and comfort. When I found a copy of Maximum Achievement in a local bookstore, I devoured it, and I’ve been hooked on books and learning ever since.
Writing was my way in. I became a freelance writer, worked for marketing agencies, and later co-founded two education companies. Along the way I lived and worked in the United States, Turkey, India, Spain and Belgium, and read hundreds of books, essays and articles. I still feel like I’m just warming up.
Finding out where to send your writing can take hours of digging through submission pages. These lists do that digging for you, so you can spend more of your time writing.
Ideas that guide me
-
Live life to the fullest
I think about the finiteness of life all the time, and I want to make my dreams come true. Carpe diem!

Balance it out
You won’t leave this world thinking you should have worked more. Humanity, health and service to others are what matter in the end.

Achieve freedom
It’s good to live on your own terms, not bound by one place or one type of work.
