We’re entering the biggest months for writing contest deadlines. In other words, time to write that spec/finish that screenplay/ have all your friends proof read your work. The weeks will fly by, and some contests need extra materials (like a bio or an essay) and if you’re trying to do it all at the last minute, you won’t make it (or you will make it, but it won't be pretty).
To help get organized, here are several writing comps with deadlines in April (and early May) AKA everything less than a month away as well as the WHAT (you need to give them) and the HOW (you give it). Be sure to check out each contests’ site for other rules and competition specifics if you’re thinking of applying (links under CONTESTS AND STUFF). Also, know that many of the contests I have links to are open to entries even if their deadline isn't in the next month, and know that I haven’t participated in all of these, so if you think I’m pushing something that’s not worthwhile, please let me know!
The deadlines are coming!
