Submissions from new writers, translators, and people living outside the US are especially encouraged.

Read the guidelines carefully, and submit.

• December is a great month for writing contests!

Plenty of FREE writing contests to choose from.

Again, read the guidelines carefully, and submit your work. Good luck!
