Learn How To Be Better With A Free Monthly Writing Contest

By Agnes Dickson


As a person improves their poetry or essays, this will show in the quality and style that is displayed in the piece. The writer can learn to be better by entering a free monthly writing contest to get professional feedback. Each competition will have specific guidelines, and the subject matter in the essay should reflect these requirements.

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 author should make sure that they are reading over all parts to check for any problems with grammar, and this should be done before the final piece is sent off. A good essay may not be a winner if there are a large amount of these kinds of errors in the essay. Some people may find it helpful to put the piece away, and they can review it later when errors may be easier to catch.

The new contestant will want to look into the many different monthly writing competitions that do not have an entry fee. Many judges are successfully writers who specialize in a particular type of style, such as poetry or short articles. The person entering should try to get an idea of the professionals who will be the judges and what they are looking for in an essay.

Many people want to get recognition for their quality entry so that they can make connections with professionals in this field that can help them be successful at this type of work. The officials for a competition may only contact winners once the review process is completed, or there many be too many submissions to be able to respond individually. The winner will find that their are many benefits in store for them.

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.

Everything that is entered needs to be received by the judging company on time, and the submission date should be included in the rules. The person entering the competition may raise the chance of winning if they are able to captivate their audience from the very beginning. Each may be a good idea to do some investigating into what types of works were the winning entries 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.
