Litopians! Arise and Compete! I've put together more than two dozen free writing contests coming up in August. They cover the full range of topics, styles and genres, from short stories, to essays, to poetry, to full-length works. Some offer substantial prizes. (Please look at the "Writing contests" tab on my blog. Many contests are offered annually. You can get a jump on upcoming contests by planning ahead.) Good luck!
