Writing Competitions 2 September, 16 Oct & 7 November

Thanks to my fellow blogger Blog About Writing:

Erewash Writers - running a free-to-enter short story competition here, which is open to anyone, worldwide and has an interesting theme: ‘full stop’ and closes on 7th November 2013.


There’s not long to go for this one but if you’ve written (or are in the middle of writing) a romance novel, you might be interested in winning an ebook publishing contract with Piatkus Entice.

The winner will be announced at the Festival of Romance in November.

You have to email the first two chapters of your novel and a short, enticing synopsis of no more than 100 words to Piatkus.Entice@littlebrown.co.uk before the closing date of 2nd September. But read all the rules here first.

Christmas Novel Competition c/d: 16th October 2013

And talking of romance, there’s a competition for a romantic ‘Christmas Novel’ (or New Year or Hannukah), here. The prize is a three-book contract with HarperImpulse and afternoon tea at Fortnum and Mason in London. - See more here.

The closing date is 16th October and I rather fancy this one myself!

Chicken Soup For The Soul

The US publisher of 'inspirational and heart-warming stories' is looking for anecdotes about the relationships between owners and their cats and dogs.

Submissions should be non-fiction, no longer than 1.200 words, and comply with Chicken Soup for the Soul's detailed guidelines.

There is a payment of $200 for each accepted story. The deadline for submissions is 30 September. (But they seem to be calling for submissions for other books too, if you look here on the ‘submit a story’ page).
