AskWriterTheI’ve entered many short story contests and I’ve placedin a few, but haven’t won yet. I feel like I’m missingsomething. What are judges looking for?Placing in contests is no smallfeat. Congratulations!Figuring out how to makethe leap to the winner’s circlecan feel like a mystery. Your bestcourse of action is to keep writing,continue to strengthen your work andsubmit more. There are few ways toanticipate what a judge is looking for.Most reputable contests are going tovalue strong craft, and some contestsgive a brief description of what theyhope to see in a winning entry. Youcould read work that has won that particular contest in the past. This will bemost useful if the contest has had thesame judge for several years. Many,though, have new judges each year.But, ultimately, what you can do togain insight into a particularly judge’scriteria is quite limited. Differentjudges will value different elements.In an article detailing the deliberationprocess for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize inFiction, Michael Cunninghamdescribes what each member of thejury most valued. Maureen Corriganwas “drawn to writers who told agripping and forceful story.” SusanLarson was “a tough-minded romantic. She wanted to fall in love with abook.” Cunningham describes himself as “the language crank, the onewho swooned over sentences.” Allreaders are captivated by something alittle different, and that’s going tocome into play anytime writingis assessed.While there are certainly standardsof craft that most can agree upon,there is always a subjective element tothe reading experience. PerhapsMichael Cunningham says this bestin that same article:Fiction involves trace elements ofmagic; it works for reasons wecan explain and also for reasonswe can’t. If novels or short-storycollections could be weighedstrictly in terms of their components . they might satisfy, butthey would fail to enchant. Agreat work of fiction involves acertain frisson that occurs whenits various components cohereand then ignite. The cause of thefire should, to some extent, eludethe experts sent to investigate.While this doesn’t necessarilydemystify a process that can feel quitemysterious, it can give you the freedom to relinquish yourself from further work in trying to figure out howto please the judges. Write. Continueto challenge yourself. Improve yourwriting. And keep sending thosesubmissions.—Brandi Reissenweber teaches fictionwriting and reading fiction at GothamWriters Workshop.» CONTESTSWriterMag.comSubscribers to The Writer haveonline access to information onpublishers, publications,conferences, contests and agents.Go to WriterMag.com and click onWriting Resources.Information in this section is provided to The Writer by the individualmarkets and events; for more information, contact those entities directly.F Fiction N NonfictionP Poetry C Children’sY Young adult O OtherF THE BIG MOOSE PRIZE Submitunpublished novel through online submission manager only.

Pump up your exposure.BY HILLARY CASAVANTWriting contests offer valuable opportunities for writers to score recognition and cash prizes. Ready to throw your hat into the ring? Here are somevaluable tips that will up your chances of winning the editor’s favor.1. Contests hosted by literary magazines and writing organizationsoffer big payoffs and opportunities for exposure, but most alsocome with a price tag. Be selective when choosing which contests to apply to. Weigh the costof the entry fee against the oddsof winning and the level of competition. Aim for contests thatoffer a one-year subscriptionwith the entry fee.2. If you’re a writing newbie, startwith a smaller publication or asmaller prize to increase yourvisibility.3. Read past winning submissionsand compare them with yourown. Make sure your work is astrong fit for the publication ororganization.4. Edit, edit, edit! A manuscript getsone first impression. Write agrabbing first sentence, ensureeach punctuation mark is in placeand leave no errors behind.5. Carefully read the full contestrules online before hitting “submit.” Many contests have specifictopics, word limits, geographicalrestrictions and formatting guidelines. Don’t disqualify yourwork with an avoidable error.
