DO YOU LIKE CONTESTS?

If you are a writer that likes to enter contests, check out "Writers Journal." It has great articles, contests, and market news.

The magazine has contests that are posted at the same time each year. Some deadlines have already passed for 2008. There are also things to come that you just might be interested in entering.

The items left for this year are:

Romance July 30
Science Fiction/Fantasy November 30
Poetry August 30 & December 30
Photo November 30

Fiction, Short Story, and Horror/Ghost were earlier this year. All of this is repeated each year. The deadlines stay the same from year to year.

Some of the first place awards are as much as $250.00.

Go online or to your local book store and check it out. No, they do not pay me anything for passing word along. I just thought that some of you would like to know about all of this stuff.

There are also "Write to Win! Contests." You are given a line starter and you go with it. First place gets $150 and a subscription to the magazine.

I almost forgot, winning selections are printed in their magazine.

So, go check it out.

Have a fun summer!
