Everybody always remembers that amazing moment they actually won a prize, but writers cannot lose, because entering competitions encourages inspiration, motivation and organisation.

Formerly Competitions Bulletin, these listings are a convenient, up-to-date and accurate means (every item double checked - where possible) to make use of all the information you need to know, allegedly:
current UK writing competitions plus an increasing number of Overseas contests.
Also includes news items and information about markets, outlets and opportunities for all kinds of writing.

One subscriber alone has scored a 1st, 3rd and 2 x Runner up within the past 12 months, while the winner of a recent prestigious competition entered only after finding out about it in these listings.

Or is it the competition which is putting you off? Sticking to the rules improves the odds no end; most judges will tell you, around 50% of entries get disqualified straight off.

Details of around £250,000 in prize money each issue.
