So, I got an email about their 78th contest.
Is it worth it? One of the prizes is for a self-pub package which makes me cringe. I don't want to have to self publish, I want an agent.
Other prize is a trip to NY to 'meet with publishers OR maybe agents'.
If my submission was a small piece from my MS and they liked it, would this benefit me or not?

This is what I'm wondering on.

Has anyone won this contest and gone one to publish their book?
Where are the 77 past winners now?

I'm a litte unnerved by Writer's Digest.

The first category is inspirational fiction (spiritual or religious stories) which might because they seem to have heaps of ads for that Christian Writers Guild.

And heaps of self-publishing ads.
