Writing Contests

These contests are appropriate for journalers. They are for essays, memoirs, and poetry. Some are free, some have a fee. This page will change frequently, so subscribe to the newsletter for updates. Also, check out Hope Clark's e-book of contests at the end of the list!

Contests with Deadlines

It has gotten too hectic for me to keep up with writing contests. There is a lot of work & time involved in finding good ones, posting them, then deleting them afterwards. So I am going to send you to a few sites that have contests of all kinds. You will have to filter through them to find essay/journaling contests. I recommend subscribing to their newsletters for more contest listings.
