Writing Competitions Coming Up

(1) Monthly curated competition alerts across every genre—poetry, fiction, nonfiction, scripts, and more. Each listing includes:

– Entry fees

– Prize money and publication opportunities

– Submission guidelines and word counts

– Deadlines clearly marked

– Genre categories

(2) Premium writing resources included for FREE—book outline templates, character development sheets, submission trackers, and more. Everything you need to write better and faster.

(3) International English-language contests—writing competition english from the UK, Australia, Canada, and the US. If it accepts English submissions and offers real prizes, we’re sending it.

(5) Time savings—most writers spend 3-5 hours weekly searching for contests, if they’re serious. That’s A LOT. Get that time back for actual writing.

Consistency beats talent. The writers who win aren’t always the best writers. They’re the ones who submit regularly because they’ve built a system.

Monthly alerts become part of your routine. First day of the month: check email, pick competitions, add deadlines to calendar, submit.

More chances of winning. When you’re not exhausted from searching, you have the time to write and submit good work.

More writing, less admin. Get back 140-160 hours a year. That’s enough time to finish a novel, revise a poetry collection, or submit to twenty more competitions.

Writing Prizes sends you a curated monthly list of writing competitions to win money—poetry contests, fiction prizes, essay awards, novel competitions. Everything delivered straight to your inbox on the first of every month.

We do the hard work for you: collecting writing competitions coming up from contest databases, literary journals, and writing organizations worldwide.

Then we organize everything into one clean email and send it to you on the first of the month.

You spend five minutes scanning the list. Pick two or three competitions that fit your work. Mark the deadlines. Done.

 

You’re tired of missing deadlines. You find great contests three days after submissions closed. You want someone else to track these things so you don’t have to.

You write across multiple genres. You need poetry contests, fiction prizes, essay competitions—all in one place instead of checking five different sites.

You want to submit more often. The research drains you. By the time you find three decent contests, you’re too exhausted to actually polish your submission.

You’re building your writing career. Publication credits matter. Prize money helps. But you can’t win writing competitions for money if you don’t know they exist.

You value your time. Spending endless hours hunting for contests means less time writing. You’d rather someone else do the research.

You’ll get:

1. Welcome email with access to our premium resource library for FREE (yes, really)
2. This month’s competition alert (if you subscribe mid-month, you get the current list immediately)
3. Then on the first of every month, your curated list of writing competitions coming up arrives in your inbox.

Open it. Pick what fits your work. Submit.

That’s the system.
