Test Skills By Entering A Free Monthly Writing Contest

By Agnes Dickson


A growing writer will want to test out how they have developed and improved their skills, and this can be done with writing poetry or essays. This individual can also see if they are getting better by entering a free monthly writing contest. The person creating the essay will want to write about an exciting subject that is approved under the contest.

In order to increase the chances for success, it will always be a good idea to read over all of the guidelines so that the submission is acceptable under the rules. This will also help the author to create a target piece that may stand out from the rest of the entries. The ultimate goal is to be the person who wins the competition and all prizes.

The individual writer should get another person to help them check for grammar problems before sending in the finished product. An essay that has a large amount of grammar or formatting issues may get placed aside, but if these things are corrected it may be the winning entry. It is always a good idea to take a break from editing a paper and to return to doing this activity at a later time when the mind is refreshed.

The author will want to select the right contest that will allow them to test out their growing writing skills in different areas. The people, who are going to review the piece, may already be working professionals in the field who can help the winner become more successful as well. The writer will want to have an idea of who these judges are so that they can produce a quality entry.

Some people are looking to gain recognition by entering these types of contests, and this may be a good way to get great feedback about a piece. A competition may select to only respond to the winners if there is a high volume of entries. Winning this type of event may be very beneficial for a new or growing writer.

The entrant will want to get to know editors and publishers so that they can advance in this field, and they will want to eventually get more items published. Each individual should carefully weigh if a contest is worth entering and how it will impact their future career choice. The person entering should continue to write on a daily basis so that they can learn to be better and more productive.

The most important date will be the deadline, and this information is usually contained in the rules and should be adhered to so that an entry is not disqualified. The writer will need to be engaging so that the readers attention is captured from the very start, and this may help them to win. The person writing may want to try and see if they can find out what types of articles have won in the past.

It may be a great idea to have a professional proofread and edit a piece before it is submitted to a contest, and this may cost a small amount but be very beneficial. There may be money that is awarded along with other prizes that will include recognition of the author. A writer can continue to test and improve by participating in local classes that teach new writing skills.
