After finishing a Coursera class on writing for young readers (I'll review it in a later post), I decided I needed to start submitting to writing contests. No, not Wattpad contests - I already have a win and a few "places" under my belt here - but contests out in the real world, that lead to being published in literary journals and such. While looking around I found this helpful article. It's from the head of a group called The Writer's Village, and I plan on checking them out soon to give you more feed back. In the mean time, check out this listicle!
Rating: 3/5 stars (I think this info is good for any writer but especially good for short story writers.)
