Writing Contests: The Money Corner

Yes, you can make money writing even as you wait for the world to discover your magnificent book. Since the mid-1980s, I have spent much of my professional life writing (and winning) government grants and proposals, from private sector agencies, county government, states, military and the federal government. I have also won a number of writing contests over the years. I will post links and information about poetry contests, short story contests, essay contests, book contests, writing fellowships and grants as I run across them. If you know of any, please email me at ejh@wwt.net with links and information.
