How to Win With Writing Competitions
Writing contests and competitions offer a lot of different quantifiable prizes for the winners, but what “wins” can all participants hope to gather. As Nicole participates in the current NYC Midnight Short Story Challenge 2020, she can think of nothing else! This week she discusses how committing to a writing competition can help writers experience the constraints and demands of a professional writing life.    Want to be one of Nicole’s first coaching clients?
