The number of people submitting fiction to magazine contests can fluctuate a lot. It depends on factors like the genre of the contest, the prize offered, and how well it's promoted.
You can start by checking writing magazines and websites. Many of them regularly announce short story contests for fiction. For example, 'Writer's Digest' often has such contests. Also, literary blogs are a good source. They might feature upcoming contests or share experiences of previous ones.
In most cases, having dialog can enhance a short story, but it's not a strict requirement. Some contests might prioritize other elements like plot or character development.
It's an exciting journey. She gets a sense of achievement and maybe some nice prizes. Also, it boosts her confidence and makes her more determined to take on new challenges.
