Writing It Real No-Contest Contest
All Entries Receive a Response from Sheila
Submission Period: January 1- March 31, 2009
Sheila Bender's Writing It Real, an online magazine for those who write from personal experience, announces its first no-contest personal essay and poetry contest. For two years, we have been holding tri-annual personal essay contests and have realized that the Honorable Mentions are often the most thrilled with their prizes--a detailed response from Sheila on their writing.
So, in this no-contest contest everyone's an honorable mention and will receive not only a one-year subscription to Writing It Real, but a detailed response to their work from Sheila (by email).
In addition, three winners, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, will be asked for permission to publish their work in Writing It Real, and they will receive a half-hour phone consult on writing and publishing with Sheila.
The No-Contest Contest Submission Guidelines
Deadline: March 31, 2009
Submit: Up to six double-spaced pages of prose or three poems. Sheila will respond to your work within two weeks of receiving it.
Reading Fee: $45 Reading Fee includes a $30 year's subscription to Writing It Real as well as Sheila's response -- a $90 value. You will receive login details via email. Current Writing It Real subscribers will receive a year's subscription extension.
Electronic Payment: International as well as U.S. entrants may pay their reading fee electronically using a credit card or through PayPal using the submission form below. If these methods are not available in your country, we also accept payments through Ikobo. Please email for details.
