It can take years to write a good book, and possibly longer to find a publisher. Twelve newly published poets share the stories of their books, sources of inspiration, and advice for writers on the verge.
Find details about every creative writing competition—including poetry contests, short story competitions, essay contests, awards for novels, grants for translators, and more—that we’ve published in the Grants & Awards section of Poets & Writers Magazine during the past year. We carefully review the practices and policies of each contest before including it in the Writing Contests database, the most trusted resource for legitimate writing contests available anywhere.
