Dear Reader
Welcome to the annual Writing Magazine Competition Special – and, yet again, it’s our biggest ever! Read on to find details of over 250 competitions to enter between now and June 2017, so make sure to keep it close at hand (and don’t miss our April 2017 issue for details of competitions further into 2017). Find out about themed poetry competitions, essay and article prizes, fiction awards for every length from flash to novel... even for just a single sentence or a book outline. Plus, get a sneak preview of our regular Writing Magazine competitions. So, get your calendar and pen, note the themes and comps that catch your eye, and get writing!
Competitions are a valuable motivational and learning tool for any writer. Many great writers started out, learned their craft and got their big breaks from entering writing competitions, and who’s to say the next one couldn’t be you?
