A growing writer will want to test out how they have developed and improved their skills, and this can be done with writing poetry or essays. This individual can also see if they are getting better by entering a free monthly writing contest. The person creating the essay will want to write about an exciting subject that is approved under the contest.
When entering a competition, it is very important that the guidelines are followed so that the entry is valid and gets a fair review by all judges looking at the piece. By following the rules, the craft person will be able to tailor their work to suit the tastes of the judges. This can make the difference in creating a winning entry for that month.
The author should make sure that they are reading over all parts to check for any problems with grammar, and this should be done before the final piece is sent off. A good essay may not be a winner if there are a large amount of these kinds of errors in the essay. Some people may find it helpful to put the piece away, and they can review it later when errors may be easier to catch.
The author will want to select the right contest that will allow them to test out their growing writing skills in different areas. The people, who are going to review the piece, may already be working professionals in the field who can help the winner become more successful as well. The writer will want to have an idea of who these judges are so that they can produce a quality entry.
Some people are looking to gain recognition by entering these types of contests, and this may be a good way to get great feedback about a piece.

The entrant will want to get to know editors and publishers so that they can advance in this field, and they will want to eventually get more items published. Each individual should carefully weigh if a contest is worth entering and how it will impact their future career choice. The person entering should continue to write on a daily basis so that they can learn to be better and more productive.
The most important date will be the deadline, and this information is usually contained in the rules and should be adhered to so that an entry is not disqualified. The writer will need to be engaging so that the readers attention is captured from the very start, and this may help them to win. The person writing may want to try and see if they can find out what types of articles have won in the past.

There may also be monetary compensation that is rewarded to a winner in addition to recognition. An individual may also want to take some English writing classes so that they can improve their style.
