    Why write if it costs money to enter?
    All contests should be free for the first round. Subsequent rounds should be using your entry from round one.
    If you don't make it to round two, okay, no cost.

    I am VERY excited about this opportunity! Thank you! I have a question about the rain prompt. Do you mean something in the story is ‘like rain’ or there being signs or puddles from rain? Thanks for clarifying! ❤️

    So now the contest costs $5 to enter per story. Is this going to continue or are there going to be any free contests in the future?

    I have an idea for an interesting situation that would go well for prompt #3, but I have no idea what story goes in that situation.
    It frustrating because I've been thinking about it off and on few months.

    I quit submitting to this contest. WHY? Two reasons. No one can answer my question regarding HOW the judging is done. Additionally, I've submitted material to REEDSY that I could have submitted to online magazines. Magazines do not accept stories that have been submitted to contests. In my ignorance as a "newby," I did not know the magazine rules. Bummer, because a couple of my stories had potential. A professional editor recommended I submit one of my stories for magazine publication, but I made the huge mistake (again, in my ignorance) of entering that story in the REEDSY weekly contest. Nobody's fault but my own for not knowing the industry.

    • @Reedsy
      @Reedsy  6 месяцев назад +4

      Hi! You can read about our judging process on our FAQ page: blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/faq/ - the TL;DR is that our team of volunteer team of judges shortlists entries each week; then, the Prompts team at Reedsy ranks their top choices and the winner is determined by points/votes.
      It's true that some magazines don't accept previously published work (we don't, either!). Publication on your Reedsy Prompts profile may count as prior publication - but you can always delete your story after the contest has ended. There should be no barrier to submitting it to other magazines at that point.

      Yes, there is a $5 fee to enter the contest. Else, you can still publish your story for free on your profile, but it won't be considered for the contest.

    • @user-lf3fv9ku2v
      @user-lf3fv9ku2v 6 месяцев назад

      Actually, don't worry. It's no scam and when you pay a mere $5 there is an explanation why. Why should all the people behind the scenes get nothing out of it. They do tasks in the website, monitor things, give feedback, and do judging. Who do we think we are in this day and age to demand everything for free. And your story will be read by a few even if you decide to post it for free but not enter. Reedsy Prompts are a great help to writers/authors.
