Why enter writing contests?

Writing contests are a good way to publication. Many of the contest offer publication as one of the prizes; however, a writer must be careful about choosing a writing contest. Therefore, before entering a writing contest, I suggest researching or investigating the contest before entering.

It takes time to research a contest, but the time spent is worth it because some of the contests are not what they appear. Some of these “contests” require an author to purchase the anthology his or her creative effort is published. So before entering a contest investigate the contest or just enter contests that you know are authentic.
