What are the best online sources listing current writing contests?
"Back in the day" when printouts were on greenbar perferated paper with pin-feed holes to guide the paper through the printer, there was an amazing website that listed every possible writing contest you could think of. I entered the Arizona Literary Contest through that website and, as I remember, received some kind of monetary award for an essay of mine. I can't see to find a comparable website in 2015, some 25 years later. What success have you had with finding writing or even other types of contests? Have you won any prizes? It would be fun to know
Hey Billie,
I have found Freelance Writers.com to be very good. You can sign up for a free newsletter that lists contests and calls for writing submissions. I have entered a few contests through here and actually had one story accepted for publication. http://www.freelancewriting.com/
Also Winning Writers.com https://winningwriters.com/meta-nav/login
Good luck.
Jodah, thanks for two great resources! Cheers, Billie
If Jodah says, Phyllis goes for it. Both look like very good sites and I will be signing up with them. Thanks, Jodah.
Billybuc mentioned Chicken Soup for the Soul as being one good one. I have registered for it in the hopes that I will find the time to enter one sometime soon.
Wow, would have never have guessed a contest there. Thanks for this Sallybea
