How To Win Writing Contests. Image from: http://www.writers-village.org
I came across something very interesting this morning. Actually, it appeared as an ad on the sidebar of my Facebook page. It was for Writer’s Village which by the way has some very interesting posts that you might want to read. Getting back to the point, they are offering a free ebook called “Contest Writing Profit Report”. This is a 27 page ebook packed with information on writing contests and how to win them. It tells you what contest to avoid and what ones are worth entering. Chapter 6 of the book explains what judges look for and how they assess your short story. There are actually 7 key ways that contests are judged and just having this information will give you an advantage. You will also find information on what to do when you win contests and how to maximise on this.
For a free ebook there really is a lot of information to take in and if you are someone who is interested in entering short story competitions this is a valuable read. Writer’s Village is run by John Yeoman who is himself a published author and writer with over 40 years experience. Let’s face it, this guy knows what he’s talking about and any professional advice and guidance is always appreciated when you are starting out.
This is my little nugget of free information for today so enjoy and please share it with your writing friends.
