  Debating how and why we enter writing contests  tiger_bright at 19:16 on 07 February 2010
 

I'm hosting a debate on my writing blog just at the moment, about how and why people enter writing contests. I'm trying to widen the discussion, and wondered whether anyone here would be willing to join the debate and/or direct people to my blog if they're interested in sharing their thoughts/experiences? Here's the link:

I was very happy to receive positive contributions from the Bristol Prize organisers (and one of the judges) as well as a former judge of the Sean O'Faolain Prize. It would be great to hear from more people, though.

Please do join the debate!

It turned into an interesting debate, too - thanks for posting it here, Sarah

Thanks for joining the debate, Emma. Yes it's very interesting - and ongoing, as Sally Quilford is now directing people to it and has joined the debate.
