One of my favorite perks of entering a writing contest is the ability to read on. Submission fees should ideally include an issue or subscription to the journal running the contest. Here's a nice example from @BFictionJournal I received in the mail this week.

You know what's really spooky? Missing a chance to win $2,000! If the deadline is a pendulum, and you're Poe's protagonist, then you'd better start finding some rats to chew thru your straps! (The rats being ur submission? Maybe? We'll work on the symbols, u work on submitting)

I know as writers there is nothing like receiving that acceptance letter, but as an editor, gotta say falling in love with stories and then getting to send acceptance letters to their authors is easily as thrilling, if not more
