Writing contests provide a way for writers to be noticed by agents and other authors. Writing for competitions also helps to develop the skill of writing to a deadline and on a specific theme or topic.

Summer is traditionally a quiet time in the publishing industry. These five contests all close in June and offer the chance for publication and writing clips. Three of them are well known and offer large cash prizes. Two more offer publication and smaller prizes. The opportunity is there to make excellent money on stories that are ready to send off to publishers, or that haven’t caught an editor’s eye yet.
