At only £3 per issue, this is largely offset by savings on postage (around 80p each time) because several entry forms are usually enclosed -
which also saves time and effort.

Formerly Competitions Bulletin, these listings are a convenient, up-to-date and accurate means (every item double checked - where possible) to make use of all the information you need to know, allegedly: current UK writing competitions plus an increasing number of Overseas contests.

Also includes news items and information about markets, outlets and opportunities for all kinds of writing.

Is it the competition which is putting you off? Sticking to the rules improves the odds no end; most judges will tell you, around 50% of entries get disqualified straight off.

Details of around £250,000 in prize money each issue

We now have a Facebook group, Kudos for Writers,
which you are  welcome to join

(OK,  not everybody is a fan/friend of Facebook, so if you would like to receive our newsletter, email me at baldock[dot]carole[at]googlemail[dot]com)

The aim is to make this the most useful resource for writers – if we don’t know the answer to your query, we’ll know somebody who does.

Plus, you will receive regular updates about calls for submissions, publication opportunities – and of course, the latest competitions.
Along with our own Kudos competitions and the chance of free copies via the occasional quiz and a monthly raffle.
