Happy Friday, everyone! Pardon the infrequency of my posts lately. Between contests, financial pursuits, my portfolio, and my end-of-year essay, I’ve been rather busy and having a hard time focusing. However, that won’t stop me from providing you with some new contest information from The Writer<\/em> for Fun-Day Friday.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have a subscription to The Writer<\/em>, I highly recommend it. I’ve learned a lot about writing, publishing, and the writing market since I started reading it. Today, though, I want to point out a free feature from The Writer<\/em>‘s website: their summer guide to writing contests<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The guide is a PDF with an alphabetical list of writing contests with deadlines this summer. Listings include a brief description of the contest, the contest’s website, contact information, deadlines, etc. The contests come from around the world, albeit most–if not all–are from English-speaking countries.<\/p>\n

The Writer<\/em> will send you the PDF for free, just click on the link I provided above for more information. While you’re there, sign up for their newsletter and look at some of their articles and writing prompts. It never hurts for a writer to read more!<\/p>\n

Have a happy and productive writing weekend.<\/p>\n

Do you have any contests to recommend? Drop a line in the comments or email me at thewritersscrapbin@gmail.com.<\/p>\n
