Do You, Don’t You?

I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July.

Have you ever considered entering a writing contest?

Being unpublished, once I begin revisions of a new manuscript, I find it helpful to enter a few writing contests. For me, I like to get unbiased opinions, especially since my cps would sing my praises no matter what I send them.  When I’m ready for feedback I consult Stephie Smith’s Contest Chart.  She does a good job keeping it updated, and she is thorough in the information she provides in her chart.

If you have time you should look over the chart and see if there are any of interest to you. Later this week I’ll go over how I chose between contests, which isn’t easy when there are so many available.

Do you enter contests? If you have, tell me which ones. What was your experience like? If you haven’t, have you ever considered doing so? Why or why not?
