Nearly four years ago, I began to enter writing contests. I was told it would help me immensely with both my writing career, and honing my craft.
What I didn’t count on was the huge amounts of money I would spend, or the disheartening comments dished out by merciless judges.
They say you learn from your mistakes; I certainly did. In the period May 2003 to May 2004, I entered eight writing contests. Of those eight I short listed in six and placed second in three. In the most recent contest, I scored 98 out of 100 possible points – and won a $500 promotional package in the process. (Plus got my work in front of some pretty impressive editors at large publishing houses.)
Not only did those results catapult me from being a totally unknown writer (in early 2003) to the widely published, sought after full-time writer I am today - they also earned me the title of “award-winning writer”.
As a result, I have received constant emails from other writers around the world, all asking the same question – “What is your secret? Exactly how do you do it?” This book is the result.
