I feel like there are so many contests going on right now that my head is spinning. It is the summer of the writer apparently, cause we are getting so many excellent chances to have our work see the light of day. Since there seem to be a cagillion (real numeric estimation) contests popping up all over, I thought I would make a little list of links here of some of the ones I plan on entering, or ones I think are just super cool. So read forth and enter like crazy!
- Brenda Drake's 35-Word Pitch Contest to Entangled Publishing
- Scott Eagen Twitter Pitch (this one is going on right now so hurry up all you women's fic and romance writers!)
- Daisy Carter's YA/MG Pitch Contest with agent Tricia Lawrence
- Lisa Burstein's Chapter Critique Contest
- Agent Wishlist Contest
- Query Critique from Louise Fury
- Christmas In July (this contest is the bomb)
- Critique Contest and Giveaway
Phew, that is a lot of awesome contests! Thanks a lot to the hosts and participants for creating these contests and giving us writers many awesome opportunities! Did I forget any current or upcoming contests that I should add to my list? Do you have any contest success stories? Let me know in the comments!
