These days, book writing competitions are too much in craze. Almost every publishing house now organizes various book writing competitions for their writers and to attract even more writers on their platform.
However, just participating in the competition doesn't mean that one will win it. There are so many things that need to be done in order to actually win a book writing competition .
Here are few tips you can use to win some book writing competitions:
1. Write something unique- If you go through the book market today, or even play story games or watch movies or web series, you'll realize that they're all fun of stories. So there are already too many stories and ideas lying out there and one must come up with unique story ideas to win a prize.
2. Follow the rules- Many a times the participants write beautiful stories but fail or deny to follow the rules of the competition, like word limit, enteries, timelines, topics or any such rule pre-specified for the competition. That should not happen. When you enter a competition set by an organization, you have to follow all the rules and guidelines of that competition.
3. Keep a consistent perspective- It's very essential to have a same opinion throughout your book. For example you begin the book with a support to XYZ, and in the end you conclude the book that XYZ is harmful. It's very important to set a consistent narrative. If you want to portray XYZ in a negative light, start from the beginning subtly.
4. A good story is better than perfect grammar- Sometimes people pay too much attention on the beauty and accuracy of the language. They want to write big and spectacular words, but the story deeply lacks. That's a turn off. Focus more on writing a beautiful story than beautiful words.
