This is a two-for-one episode, as it’s hard to talk about writing contests without bringing up the synopsis. So how do you find a good contest, how do you submit, and is the final prize worth it for you?

Anne and Jess carry the episode while Tracey is away (sigh), talking about tips and tricks of entering contests as seen from both sides, as well as some ideas for whittling down your synopsis.
