Crested Butte Writers Sandy Contest writes:

The fiction industry is a fiercely competitive business to break into.

The Sandy is a writing competition designed to prepare authors for the submission process; hence I want to caution tenderhearted, inexperienced authors not to get upset if they receive low scores. Agents and editors score far harsher than any of our judges – with no explanation.

This contest offers terrific opportunities for writers-but please read and follow all the Rules & Regulations. Check out our Judging & Entry Tips if you have formatting questions or for advice on synopsis writing or great openings.

The contest is for both published and unpublished authors.
