Is it a good idea to apply to contests...and what are the chances of getting an agent/publisher after?
Were do you find lists of memoir Agents?
Thanks

I had a judge take points off because my "metaphor" didn't have the word "like." She said, "Clouds are NOT cotton candy." A metaphor without the word like is called a similie.
I hope this is a typo
A simile has "like" or "as" or some comparative word in it; a metaphor says the object is the thing it's compared to.
I agree, though - I really can't see the point in entering competitions. If you're good enough to win, you're good enough to get an agent and a contract you can negotiate.
