For writers who want to take part in regular competitions but also be part of an online writing community, Globe Soup is a brilliant option. As well as the open competitions (like this one) which are outlined on their website, they also have an amazing members-only Facebook group. The group is a forum in which writers of all types and experience levels can support one another’s endeavours, share success stories and generally chat about writing. But there are also loads of members-only competitions available, most with cash prizes, that are well worth checking out, including their & Day Story Writing Challenges. The group is open to anyone who has entered one of the Globe Soup paid-for competitions.
Back to this competition, and with a great prize of £1,000 for the winner, it should be on your list of competitions to enter. It will particularly suit those who fancy having a go at historical fiction.
But these something of a twist here… your story should be set in one of five historical periods:
The Vikings
World War II
Ancient Egypt
American Civil War
The Roaring 20’s
The twist, however, is that you won’t know which period you’ve got until you purchase your ticket for the competition. So if you fancy a challenge that could help push you out of your writing comfort zone, why not give this a try?
