What do you do when your writing is sharp, your feedback is glowing, but the traditional query route is at a standstill? You pivot. Writing competitions offer a powerful alternative to get your work noticed, build your literary resume, and find your audience.

What do you do when your writing is ready, but the usual query route is slow? This month, we're chatting about writing competitions as a fun alternative. I'll share tips on finding good contests, how to choose what to submit, and how to handle deadlines without the stress. Bring your ideas, your questions, or just come to listen!

Discover the joy of expressing your creativity and taking time for yourself. Whether you're an experienced writer or just starting out, your creative spark deserves to shine. Let’s explore the journey together!

Our inclusive writing group welcomes all genres and skill levels. Whether you write short stories, poetry, or novels, you’ll find a supportive community. We meet monthly for an hour of inspiration and connection.
