Have you ever taken four minutes to listen to this video from Andrew, where he gives a brief description of IEW's methodology and the results of a few years of using this method? Right around 2:40 he says, "Once they gain the basic skills of Structure and Style, their creativity explodes! They're out winning essay contests, winning story contests, getting published," and celebrating other accomplishments. To that end, here are some opportunities for your students where they can submit their stories, articles, and essays, including a few sponsored by IEW.
More to be announced as we receive updates. If you happen to know of a writing contest, please let us know so we can include it on this page. Please note: While IEW believes these contests to be legitimate, writing contest scams do exist, and it's wise to check into a contest carefully before entering, especially if there is a fee to enter.

Thanks for sharing your work with Rattle! All of our content comes from unsolicited submissions—we couldn’t exist without you, and we want this process to be as easy and friendly as possible. For more information, see our full guidelines page. Overview: Rattle publishes unsolicited poetry, translations, and book reviews. General submissions are open year-round, always welcomed, and always free. Rattle does not accept work that has been previously curated, in print or online—poems may be self-published on social media, blogs, or message boards, but cannot have been published in books, magazines, or similar collections open to the public. We want to be the first publisher to highlight the poems, but never want to discourage anyone from sharing their poems themselves. For more on this, read “Uncurated: The Case for a New Term of Art.” Rattle does not accept work that has been predominantly generated by artificial intelligence. Poetry is a tool for expanding the human spirit, which means poems should be written by humans. It is possible to use A.I. toward that aim in some cases, so if used A.I. to assist in the writing process, please explain in the notes to your submission. Simultaneous submissions are encouraged. Contributors to the print magazine receive $200 and a complimentary one-year subscription. Poems for “Online” categories receive $100. All submissions are automatically considered for the annual Neil Postman Award for Metaphor, a $2,000 prize judged by the editors. Separate from general and themed (and always free) submissions, we also offer the annual $15,000 Rattle Poetry Prize and the Rattle Chapbook Prize—for each of those, a submission fee of $25 includes a one-year subscription to the magazine. VERY IMPORTANT: Submissions cannot be revised after submission. If you need to edit a submission, please simply withdraw it and submit again. Note that typos and minor changes never affect our decisions—proofreading is what editors are for. If you’ve made a significant mistake, use the internal messaging system to send a new file as an attachment. To withdraw a single poem from a submission of multiple poems, just log in, click on the submission, and send a message to let us know which you’d like removed. Do not withdraw the entire submission—if you do, the submission will no longer be active and we won’t see it. Don’t include any contact information in the file(s) that you submit. Your name and contact info will be included in the Submittable fields, and this will make it easier for us to read fairly.For more detailed information about rights, rules, privacy, and payments for publication, see our full guidelines.NOTE: Please don’t query to ask if we have a reply to your submission yet. If the status says “received” or “in-progress,” then it’s received and in-progress. We always go as fast as we can, but we’re only human and the submission flow waxes and wanes, so response times vary considerably.
