This might be of interest to some fellow authors.
Would someone from the UK (like me) be able to enter such contests?
I’m not sure. Some contests are US only, but others are more flexible. Your best bet is to check the guidelines on each contest. They usually say that.
I’m definitely going to check these out. Thank you for the information!
You’re very welcome. 🙂
