writing contest

Susan, Liz and I attended the Ventura County Writers' group meeting at Border's last night. One of the speakers suggested writing contests as a way to get your work noticed. Here's a contest for the Writers-Editors Network competition. Author Margaret Brownley stated that you don't enter the contests expecting to win, but one big advantage is that someone reads your work and critiques it as well. You can use a positive critique when trying to sign an agent or publisher.
