Fiction Writing Contests

There are many contests out there on the Internet for writing contests.  Occasionally, I will list some of them here.  Today, I offer you sites that gives you compilations of contests for 2011.  When 2012 rolls around, I’ll update the pages and even add more:

·         Poets & Writers – Writing Contests, Grants & Awards (use their features to narrow the search scope.

·         Be a Better Writer with Pearl Luke – Creative Writing Contests

·         Writer’s Digest – Writing Competitions

·         Freelance Writing – New Writing Contests

·         Writers-Editors Network – Writing Contests

This list is short.  There are many sites out there that have writing contests.  When you submit to a contest, be sure to read all the information carefully.  For any contest that requires a fee, be sure to look at the sponsor of the contest to make sure they are reputable.  Some reputable contests do charge a few, but a lot of non-reputable do as well, so the only way to really judge is to look at the sponsoring organization.
