Become a Writer Today How to Enter Writing Awards with Paula Sheridan
Have you ever considered entering a writing award?
I used to enter writing competitions to deal with procrastination and writer's block. And although I didn't win anything, it forced me to finish off pieces of writing, and I also benefitted from the feedback I got from the judges.
My guest on this episode knows all about writing awards. Paula Sheridan is an award-winning historical fiction novelist and founder of the Page Turner Awards.
The awards are now in their second year and include categories for fiction, non-fiction, screenwriting and other categories that we discuss in the interview.
I wanted to know why she launched the awards in the first place, and can an award change a writers life?
The awards are open for submission now at The Page Turner Awards.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why Paula founded the Page Turner Awards
- What makes a good submission for an award
- Do awards sell books?
- Paula's advice for entering The Page Turner Award
