Can you truly win writing contests and earn a good income month after month, simply from your competition awards? Yes, you [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] can. And you can enjoyably make a substantial income every year - without having to publish your stories elsewhere.
However, to earn a regular paycheck from writing contests you must become impartial enough to think of your stories in a ruthless way as commercial 'products' - and to tailor every story exactly to the contest in question.
It's a tough call! Many authors begin by creating to please themselves and only later do they try to sell their stories. That's okay, if you write just for pleasure. But when you plan to win competitions - or publish your stories for cash - it's a bad idea.
To make [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] serious money, you must adapt your stories to your client. In contests, it's a contest judge.
Adapting a story for a commercial purpose is a hard lesson for any new author to master. But it pays off.
There's a lot of profit (and pleasure!) in winning story competitions.
You can write your story 'products' anywhere you like, whether it's your lounge chair at home, or commuting, or just lying by a pool. (Very likely, your contest winnings will pay for a few great holidays every year.)
Plus, you can engage your writing contest machine, any time you like.
Not least... send work to contests regularly and you will build [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] a treasury of products that you can further sell in their own right. That may lead to your more 'important' fiction, like a full-length novel, being taken by [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] a mainstream publisher. So your stories may make money yet again.
Submitting to contests is like starting in a university of creative writing. You will develop your craft expertise, enjoyably, with each story you [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] send in. Yet you don't pay money to this 'university' - or little more than a tiny sum each month. Instead, it sends you money!
Most important of all, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you will enrol [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] in an exciting 'club': the company of dedicated fellow authors.
Endless numbers of writers operate their own [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] web sites or ezines. No matter where your home is, you will always be [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] warmly welcomed in this delightful society. On the Net, all folks are equal.
Inspired by merely a few contest triumphs, you can enter this companionable society with poise and excellent references!
A myriad contest offers
More than 2100 contests every year are listed on the web, world-wide, for short stories in English. No contests 'compete' with each other, and hardly any ask for exclusive submission. So there's no limit on how many contests you can enter.
That big total does not include competitions for novels, plays, poems, or other genres, or [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] those prizes offered by organizations to recognize materials already in print, or the innumerable contests - often very local - that are not listed on-line.
You will never find every one of the contests [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] in any one directory, on the web or elsewhere. Directories, whether or not published on the web, will note just the most important award schemes or those confined to their own regions.
To discover the new contests, search for them world-wide. Fresh contest lists pop up constantly on the Net.
Where to discover the best story contests
Do a regular search using several different search utilities - Google, Bing, etc - dropping in keywords like 'writing contest list', 'fiction contest directory', 'story contests review', and so on, plus the year you're interested in eg '2012'. (Or else you'll be overwhelmed by old data.)
Why use many search engines? Google may hide a useful contest in, say, page 21,000 of its list but Yahoo or Bing will display it in the front. And vice versa. Dogpile arranges its list in a completely different manner. It will present a different picture.
Don't forget, many good award schemes will be hidden very far down in the web.
So arrange your contest hobby as a business, be systematic in your research... and you might well be en route to achieving a major 'hobby' income year round. Doing what comes naturally!
