Writing contests provide an opportunity for writers to get recognition for their work, win monetary prizes, and even have their work pitched to literary agents.

Understanding how contests actually work and what types of projects typically resonate is essential to any writer looking to compete—the story idea, the quality of the writing sample, the voice of the author, etc.

Our Book Pipeline execs, Matthew J. Misetich, Ciara Duggan and Jeanne Veillette Bowerman, join contest-winning writer Laura Picklesimer to offer insider tips on writing competitions.

Reckless Creatives podcast co-hosts, Jeanne Veillette Bowerman and Sadie Dean, had a live conversation with the legendary Scott Myers about screenwriting, the life of an artist, his new book, The Protagonist's Journey: An Introduction to Character-Driven Screenwriting and Storytelling, and so much more. This episode was recorded on May 16, 2023, during the WGA strike.

Our regular Reckless Creatives listeners and Symposium attendees participated and asked Scott questions, too!

Scott has more thoughts on the WGA strike, too. Check his blog for updates.
