Globe Soup is launching a writing course, and it sounds amazing! It's 18 weeks of writing lessons (weekly PDFs) which you use to workshop a short story. At the end of the course portion, you have a month to finish up your story and then you submit to the contest. All entries will receive feedback from the judges.

So it's a course + a contest + feedback.

The early bird pricing is £29.99 (which works out to about $49 CAD or $37 USD). That's a steal.

The folks at Globe Soup are amazing so I'm pretty confident this will be a great program. (Note: I'm not affiliated with them at all, I just think they're a great resource doing wonderful things.)

I am!

I've been doing Globe Soup comps for a while now and they're really good value. I'm sure the writing course will be informative and you get to write a story at the end of it, using what you've learnt.

Although I think I already know most of the 'rules' - just have a hard time incorporating them.

Yeah, I feel like I may not get a lot of new-to-me "rules", but this will get me to focus in on each one to make sure I'm actually incorporating important tips, and I'll practice spending a longer time polishing a piece. I could definitely work on both these things!

There's always room for improvement in my writing and entering a contest as well? Yes please!

Thanks @Wisemel for posting about it :)

I did. I’m horrible at following through with these though, so we will see.

This looks great! Thank you for sharing ❤️
I will return overdue reads (so sorry!) I promise but I just need to take a break from NYCM for a bit. I will be back! Big love.

Mebbe. It looks good. And as it's pdf-based, it's schedule-friendly.
