It’s that time again. Writer’s Digest magazine wants you to enter your writing into their competition. If you are a regular journal writer I’m sure you must have a personal essay or a memoir piece you can polish up and submit. There are loads of other categories, though, so don’t stop there. I’m sure you can work a piece of fiction from something you’ve written previously. Good luck if you do enter. There are some cool prizes.
