Writing About Writing Competition
Leaf Books invites you to send us up to 750 words on the theme of writing. Creative writing (a story or poem) or an essay/academic/journalistic piece, or even a stream-of-consciousness writers-block-induced panic, provided it’s on the subject of writing.
Enter online or by post.
Fee: £3.50 per submission, 4 submissions for £10
Prize: One winner will receive £100 and publication in the pilot edition of the Leaf Books Magazine. Further selected entries may also be published in the magazine: successful entrants will receive a free copy.
Not much of a return on investment I feel.
Deadline: January 31 2010

I worry about these Leaf 'competitions'. There are so many now- the finalist lists are vast... . And the finalists have to pay twice, if they want a copy of their own publication, they have to buy it.
Id love to know the stats. How many of the resulting books are sold to readers unassociated with the writers.
.
Hmmmm....
It does say successful entrants will receive a free copy so they have to be selling them to others too.
Hmm, not much return but I could write about writer's block forever!! So much easier than actually writing something productive:)
Apols, if thats the case. They had stopped giving them to the successful finalists a while back.
was doing some research about new competitions to add to my listings at fictioncontests.blogspot.com and tend to agree that this one doesn't seem to have a good return on investment. would love if you listed my site on your blogroll. i've spent a few hundred hours organizing it (originally kept it private and for my own use) and it seems to have been of some use to a few people.
Hi fictioncontents. I have a browse of your website. It's very US biased. For the global web, can I suggest you mark competitions that are available to US residents only so we 'foreigners' can know not to bother.
