In this Virtual Craft Chat event hosted by Poet Lore and the Writer’s Center, Ally Ang reads from their debut collection, Let the Moon Wobble (Alice James Books, 2025), and talks about how formal challenges and constraints can inspire new poems in a conversation with Emily Holland.
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.
