Enter Our New Writing Competitions !

 

Hey Everyone – And welcome to the Breaking Rules Writing Competitions blog.  We have been working on the website and will be launching it very soon.  The URL will be www.breakingruleswritingcompetitions.com. Keep an eye out for it – we’ll be letting you know via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and LinkedIn when you're able to connect.

Until then - we just recently put in place a few competitions that we thought we would put out there and share with you. We’re hoping that it will catch some interest.

As a reminder – the prize money for these contests will increase with the number of entries. A percentage of the total draw from each contest will be divided between the contest winners and scholarships. The more entries one particular contest has, the more the prize money will be. So enter often and share with your fellow writing friends.

In addition to the regular prizes – Breaking Rules Writing Competition will also help in the E-publishing of the winning manuscript on Amazon or a site of the winner’s choice, paying half of the publishing cost. We will also help to market the book on our website and social media sites. We do not have an age limit on this contest. Remember that all entries under the age of 18 years old must be accompanied by a parental permission form.

 

Last, but not least – we have a screenplay competition. The theme must be a romance; we’ll let you decide if it will be a drama or comedy. The screenplay must be less than 150 pages. The deadline for this competition is 2.1.16, with a fee of $75.

The winners from these competitions will not only receive prize money, but also get their work published on our website, social media sites as well as blogs and newsletters. We look forward to reading what you come up with.

Good Luck!
