    Oleg, if you do not have the opportunity to study in the Litin Institute, proceed on the principle of "learn from anyone and somehow." The main thing is your sincere desire and talent, but remember: the latter need to constantly develop. Read the classics, analyze, draw conclusions.

      • Svetlana, finding what was awarded the work that is weaker than yours, you will not experience pleasure. You will feel disappointment, bewilderment and indignation.

        • I have already passed it. But left everything on the conscience of the jury. Let them eat negative emotions, and not me. I do not worsen karma, but they should think about it. And no matter how hard they tried to cover the non-resident actions, conscience - she will not calmly sleep. So these are their problems, not mine.

          • "I do not worsen my karma, but they should think about them. And no matter how hard they try to cover the unacceptable deeds, conscience - she will not sleep calmly. "

            Svetlana, remorse of conscience will not torment the jury as long as they do not show his finger. It is necessary to criticize, and the criticism must be fair.

            "So these are their problems, not mine." Perhaps, therefore, talented authors have solid disappointments in contests. Everyone believes that the improper decision of the jury is not their problems. The jury also thinks that this is not his problem that it may draw a problem, therefore ignoramus, lazy and machinators come out with dry water. It will be quite another thing if we express a decisive protest. And if you still argue claims and unite, the jury will be forced to give up.

            • You know, Alexander, it was, but the time passed when I criticized, pointed out, suggested - even if it is true, with the knowledge of the case and with respect for the person. Now I adhere to the Council "Not Cause Good": if I do not ask for advice and review, I try to keep them with you. It does not always work, yes, but I try. The world is fair and early or late himself puts emphasis.
              Therefore, above and wrote someone what is most important for me - participation in the competition, because I see one of the options of self-development. And the victory is an excellent bonus, but not an end in itself.

              "Perhaps, therefore, talented authors have solid disappointments in contests. Everyone believes that the improper decision of the jury is not their problems. The jury also thinks ... "And in my opinion, any disappointment is not from the wrong decisions and not from anyone who thinks. In my opinion, disappointment occurs when the expectations do not match. Exit - cancel expectations that do not depend on us! What I am doing. Participation in the competition and self-development depend on me - participating (when it turns out), but the results depend on other people and circumstances (the jury and their opinion / experience / mood ..., more / less talented and successful authors and other things) - for these results We chase, I do not do rates on them. And there is no disappointment. But there is joy, if notice or win. 🙂

              But "dry out of the water", if there is no one, no one comes out, in this I have been convinced of life: everyone gets reality with their own hands. Another thing is that it is not always what it seems right and fair to us. Everything is so relative in the world!
              For example, you helped familiar - staged it to your company. He, choosing from poverty, began to destroy your company from within his negative. It seems you made a good deed - good. And it turned it by the collapse of your brainchild - bad ...

              I do not try to convince you, Alexander: Each of us lives with your experience, installations and other things. Just express an opinion. But I am glad to post it in response to your deployed smart comments. Thank you.

    • Tatiana, if we consider that artworks written "in the best traditions of Russian literature" are required, it is hardly a story-fantasy. Although you better follow the link to the site of the organizers and clarify this question from them.

  1. Maybe I try? In fact, my desire is only a victory. I could never afford to be somewhere whose backs. My story "Long Road Home" has already taken the souls and minds of many.
    Ilgiz Akhmetov

        • As for whom, Alexander. I have not decided to show my poems to other writers for a very long time. I needed a decent share of courage to decide for the first time and get them out of the table. And on the competition, where they will evaluate, compare, many are not solved to send their creations.
          As for the dispute with the jury - I do not see in this sense. You can, of course, express your opinion, tactfully and unobtrusively. But criticize ... they set the rules - they violate. And this, as I said, their problems. I will not torment me the conscience. :)

          • "At the competition, where they will evaluate, compare, many are not solved to send their creations." Their doubts are incomprehensible. For the fact that they will send works to the competition, do not shift anyone. And to write only in order to hide the manuscript to the table, meaningless. It's like a singer with an opera voice to perform in the dense forest. Just no one explains to people what's what.

            "As for the dispute with the jury - I do not see the point. You can, of course, express your opinion, tactfully and unobtrusively. But criticize ... they set the rules - they violate. " There is a single literary theory, which all experts must adhere to. If the jury violates the rules, you must declare it. If it does not know or deliberately does not indicate the criteria for the evaluation of artwork, it is necessary to make it so that he knew and indicated. The main thing is to speak publicly, and not in personal messages, to be as soon as possible and discard empty fears. Let me remind you of the words of director Sergei Bodrov: "The one for whom the truth is, that stronger."

            • I and doubts, and fears are understandable - because each of us has their own experience, and not always rainbow. Another thing is important to understand and recognize that there is this problem, and try to cope with it.
              As for the second paragraph ... I thought here: probably, this is a male thing - with a saber to rush into battle. I now prefer simply not to participate in contests that cause bewilderment, it is not clear that they seem unfair, etc. If everything was not participated, ignored - from my point of view, it would be the best protest. :)

    Svetlana, good afternoon! Tell me, please, my grandmother is 94 years old, she is a young prisoner, recorded his memories. I edited them, designed in a small brochure. I want these memories of the terrible years of the German captivity, they reached the reader. What competition, in your opinion, will suit. Grandma is very proud of his book, often reread and cries ... thanks

    • Olga, I do not know if there are contests where brochures are accepted. But in the form of an essay, you can send an annual international online contest "Family Glory page". As far as I know, they are printed by the work sent on their website. Try also send a manuscript to the Big Book National Prize. Later, a competition for the national award for humanism in the art "for the benefit of the world" is being held, where you can also send a manuscript.
      Remember that many contests can send manuscripts that have not previously published anywhere.
      You will receive more detailed information if you follow the relevant links on the links.
      If you are not interested in contests, and the goal is to give the world to the world of grandmother, you can publish it for free on Litres platforms or in Ridero.
      Successes!

      • A starting author to break through the "big book" is very difficult. If he does not have a book, you have to send a manuscript, and this can only be done in paper copies. Even if the printer stands at home, the costs of paint, paper, parcel (or even parcel) will follow. This amount will be checked that you do not want to participate in the competition. Add a real probability to lose to it, and you will understand that the sheepbank is probably not worth it. Even experienced writers cannot get to the "Big Book". Not surprising - there fight comes For millions, and the selection is quite tough.

        • Alexander, material expenses for the manuscript in 1-3 copies, in fact, are not so great. And if there is a goal, quite achievable. I used to not seek the causes, but to consider opportunities.
          In the "big book" I did not participate, there is no experience. But if I decided to send a manuscript there, I would simply take and sent it, and there be how it would be. Sheepbank may well cost the selection if you look at it under a different angle. I think what - you, Alexander, have already understood from my answers to your comments above.
          So, Olga, just choose contests, prepare the manuscript - and send. Your attention and effort will be enjoyed by your grandmother. Successes to you and grandmother!

          • "The material costs for a manuscript in 1-3 copies, in fact, are not so great." Svetlana, who is small, and to whom are great. The fact that Russian is good for the German - perfection. Before getting involved in a low-job case, you need to weigh your capabilities.

            "In the" big book "I did not participate, there is no such experience. But if I decided to send a manuscript there, I would just take and sent it, and there be as it would be. " If you are used to risk, please do not advise others. Many professional writers cannot even get into the Long List of this Prize. In addition to material expenses, the participant is waiting for another problem: the manuscript must recommend someone - as a rule, either a writer organization or a publisher.

            In my opinion, Olga should choose contests on which the authors and the works are not too high demands.

            • "If you are used to risk, please do not advise others."
              Alexander, if you are used to handing out the directions to the left and right, please do not specify me what to write. This is my right - to say what I think. And the right of a person is to do, as he considers it necessary. Everyone has their own head on shoulders. In addition, you do not need to distinguish what I said: I do not give advice at all. I asked me - I replied, as I thought it was necessary.
              This is me just respecting the personality of another person who communicate with. Because I have a similar one for your tone.
              As for the costs, I insist: print 1-3 copies of manuscripts - the costs are small for people who wish to keep their book in their hands and take it all possible for this. The same one who is used to cannuity and cripple, and pay - and all will find than being dissatisfied.
              In general, I am for the positive and for the position of the owner of life, not the victims. Therefore, I am looking for options, and not endlessly lay tears about unfulfilled dreams, a bad environment, foolish weather and that "I did not understand ... I did not recognize ..." Little money? Look for how to earn. Screaming them will definitely not add.

    I am writing the "bikes of Jora Mariupolsky" this is an expulsion anecdotal case taken from life. This genre is closest to me. He started in the "Priazovsky Worker" in the city of Mariupol. Printed in different publications. I would like to collect in the book. Himself to publish. Pension will not be offended. How to be - I can't do any mind!

    • Konstantin, try publishing a book in the electronic version. You have an electronic publishing house of Strelbitsky in Ukraine (my book "Nymph and Hooligan" was published there). But me, however, most liked the Russian Publisher Reader: It is easy to figure out what to make a book itself - completely free if knowledge and skills allow, and also to print, from 1 copy to "how much you want". At the same time printed books of excellent quality, I can argue, because Verified by own experience. True, the printed books have to pay, but, alas, charity is now a rare phenomenon, and as in my opinion, often even harmful. 🙂

      Konstantin, for some reason, it is impossible to get to your site: knocks out the error 404. So I removed the ulla of your blog.

      • The most important thing is to understand that the author is more important: to become a recognized writer or release a book, because "I want to read." For the first version, the Publishing House of Strelbitsky does not fit - there is a bad editor. If the author simply wants to fucked his pride, then any samizdat will be used. However, you need to be careful where they offer to sign a bluded content contract. So you can get into literary slavery or lose copyright.

        "For printed books you have to pay, but, alas, charity is now a rare phenomenon, and as in my opinion, often even harmful." Harmful phenomenon is when the author does not pay for his work, and when they are trying to pull out money from it, it's already rudeness. If you want to earn, share with the author, because he also spends time and strength, he also needs to live on something.

        • You are right in many ways, Alexander. As for charity, all the more: the writer itself, I know it. However, the "harmful" charity still happens: I saw books that do not just represent artistic or other values, but illiterate, "nothing" is on dear glossy paper. Here is such charity - continuous harm (I will not paint it). So those who want to help the author should still be met with the work in which he is going to invest money may be consulted with experts.

          • "However, the" harmful "charity still happens: I saw books that do not just represent artistic or other values, but illiterate. Here is such charity - continuous harm. So those who want to help the author should first get acquainted with the work in which he is going to invest money may consult with experts. " Svetlana, this is a well-known fact. Only the careless man will buy a suit without making sure that it can be worn. It happens differently: the sponsor gives money to the publication to a friend, a relative or the "necessary" person, and, instead of reading the manuscript, asks to give a book with an autograph. Approximately this falls any trash on the store counters. Or the grief writer pays his money, if, of course, he is rich.

            • Undoubtedly, Alexander. And this is also well-known facts. 🙂

            • Good evening!
              You raised, Svetlana, an important and difficult question. It is unlikely that I will answer it within one comment. In addition, if you write and edit Mastak, I haven't learned the book to sell books yet. Although I understand perfectly well that this today has become a pressing need. And learning.
              But I just do not advise you to fall into despair and cry: this condition does not help, but only hurts. Think for what and for whom do you write? I am writing because I can't not write - and in any case calmly. Because I know: I will write with any scenario, with sales or without.
              Publishers today are promoting the authors of the promoted. In beginners to invest risky: it is not known whether they will bring profit. Therefore, if you are not yet Daria Dontsova and not Sergey Lukyanenko, it is necessary to tune in to the self-level. And to quarrel the sleeves - work is to have a lot. Including, actively communicate with readers through the social network.
              Competitions are another good move, in vain you underestimate them. If your works are standing, they will notice them, sooner or later. And then it will be possible to go to the publisher: they say, won in such competitions, issued such books.
              But first of all, create a book promotion plan. For some reason, I am sure that you do not have it. However, as for me too. And so we do not earn up with you. 🙂
              By the way, I would be interested that you have for books, what is your name, author? Tell us about yourself in a letter to E-Male, about your work: I will publish your story and, for example, your story on this site. You look, someone else will pass through my site on the book page and buy it.
              We raised the topic, we will assume that we have not yet closed. I will also write about it, I will learn and share your experience. Want to try together? 🙂
              You, too, all the best, thesis, and in addition inspiration and big sales!

    MY POEMS

    Talented art people.
    Writer talent thinking.
    And the essence of the thoughts of the word.
    In art turn.
    Writer talent as revelations.
    In the sincerity of feelings in words.
    Talent Writer story in the novel.
    Beautiful gentle good words.

    I have a small question, as a person has no experience in competitions.
    When the author directs his work to the competition, can not lose his work after the competition is over and someone will take advantage of his work, but already from himself? After all, to track the fate of the work is impossible, and when it suddenly be published under a different name, then restore justice, most likely, will not be able to ... How to be, what can you advise?

    • The question of how to protect your work is always relevant. And, I understand it, I have a new topic for the post. 🙂 Thank you.
      As for your question (in order not to leave completely unanswered now), I will offer such options.
      1. Lay it on some of the sites on the Internet or publish in the press. But (!) - Not always, such works are taken to the competition. See the conditions carefully.
      2. Give to read the manuscript with several reeers (for the court it is quite wonderful witnesses - if you have to prove something). Ask them to write them in social networks or your blog reviews.
      3. You can also place an excerpt / excerpts from the work on the Internet sites: and the opinion will hear, and the authorship is fixing.

      • Thank you, Svetlana!
        The question about authorship is not simple. Can I use notary? Let's say I send my work to the contest with the mark "notarized", as a certain patent version. How important is it justified from your point of view?

        • Fedor, I'm not sure that the notaries provide similar services. But ask: if a lawyer takes it out such a document, I think you will sleep calmer.

          • An option with a notary is quite real and applicable. But the cheapest option is to send the printed text to my email address by registered letter with the description of the investment. Mail fixes the date. When you get an envelope, do not open it. If it comes to the court and determining the authorship, this is proof. The envelope is revealed in the lawsuit

            • Antonina, this is a very similar tip. Thank you.
              I'll take a note myself, I think, and those who come here for information, your advice can be useful. Moreover, yes, this option is cheaper than notary services. 🙂

    So, I sent my story to the contest ... now it remains only to wait. In justice, of course, we relieve weakly. But when read, I believe, everyone will receive a huge charge of patriotism, love for life and hope for this very justice.
    "Memory is not just a cold stone on God forgotten abandoned alley. This is a guide star in our heart ... "
    Ilgiz Akhmetov.

    • Ilgiz, you probably do not quite understand that I just give information about contests - with reference to the original sources, but I do not work in any of them. Therefore, it is unlikely that your ingenious creation is unknown, which you are unknown where sent.
      Be careful when you read other people's texts and collect information - it is your inattention that can cause is not enough. After all, it is important to start sending your texts to where it is necessary to comply with all the conditions. I wish you success.

    "Time passed when I criticized, pointed out, suggested - even if it is true, with knowledge of the case and with respect for the person." Svetlana, you just think that it passed. Unfair organizers and members of the jury of contests are calculated. There is no criticism - no and hassle, you can continue to donate the head in an inexperienced authors.

    "Now I adhere to the Council" Not Cause Good "." It's a delusion. Good appreciates at all times, and those who do not accept it are or fools, or ungrateful people.

    "The world is fair and sooner or later plays accents." The world is huge, but helpless, and no people will put any accents.

    "It is most important for me - participation in the competition, because I see one of the options of self-development. And the victory is an excellent bonus, but not an end in itself. " There will be no development if the jury encourages mediocre works, and the participants are silent like fish. This is a closed circle, not a development.

    "In my opinion, any disappointment is not from incorrect decisions and not from anyone who thinks. In my opinion, disappointment occurs when there are no expectations with the result. " Incorrect decisions, especially organizers or experts, all lead to a dead end. This shows the practice and proves logic, and naturally, that such a result generates disappointment.

    "Exit - cancel expectations that do not depend on us!". If we accept the competitive lawlessness, irresponsible organizers and the jury are finally encouraged

    "Self-development depends on me but the results depend on other people and circumstances." If the results are incorrect, it is necessary to report it. Today, one was mistaken, tomorrow - the other, the day after tomorrow - the fourth is mistaken, and then our world will turn into one big mistake.

    "For these results, I do not chase, I do not do rates." If you are participating in the competition, it already means that you want to achieve exactly the results, and good.

    "" Dry out of the water, "if there is no nobody, no one comes out, the life has been convinced more than once." I will tell you, on your own experience: the accumulating jury goes dry out of the water when no one says: "You are wet!".

    "Everyone gets his own reality to do it".

    "All about the world! For example, you helped familiar - staged it to your company. He, choosing from poverty, began to destroy your company from within his negative. It seems you made a good deed - good. And it turned it with the collapse of your child. " Well, here everything is very simple: if the employee does not cope with his tasks, it is either down in office, or dismiss.

    • I read everything with interest everything you write in my blog, Alexander. But the more I read, the more I understand it: we are with you on different waves. In such cases, it is difficult to come to a common opinion. Or impossible. Therefore, I suggest everyone with my opinion - with full respect for the opinions of the other. In my opinion, this is the perfect way out when the paintings of the world are completely different. 🙂
      I will answer only on this item: "If you are participating in the competition, it already means that you want to achieve precisely the results, and good."
      You are right, results, and good, I want to achieve. But they do not depend on the decision of the jury. First, the contests motivate writing - and to do this to a person who works all day with other people's texts, often difficult. Secondly, for me it is also a check "I can not,", especially if you have to write to new theme for me. Won, became a laureate - an excellent bonus. Because I have no disappointment. And still sure: if negative happens to me (I was deceived or insulted, for example) - it means that I somehow created a situation in which it became possible.
      By the way, when I felt the mistress of my life, such negative situations began to occur much less often. 🙂

    "Probably, this is a male business - with a saber to rush into battle." Svetlana, in such cases there is no separation for sexual sign. The main thing is attentiveness, knowledge and logic.

    "I now prefer simply do not participate in contests that cause bewilderment, it is not clear, seem unfair, etc.". You can not always understand what competition in front of you. I have already published here "Symptoms", which should cause alertness, but still the situation is finalized after summing up. Yes, and that if the works of winners are announced. IN otherwise, Compare your product is nothing with what, that is, it is impossible to make a comparative analysis, determine whether the awarded work is really better.

    "If everything was not participated, ignored - from my point of view, this would be the best protest." So that participants understand what is happening, will have to give an explanation. And if you just go to the proud silence, it will not help you or your colleagues.

    • The refereeing is subjective phenomenon: each person has its own experience, values, ideas, and so on. And it's just unreal to please everything, even if the jury tried to be as objective as possible. At least because the author himself is not always objective when it comes to his works.
      I had to work more than once with the authors, albeit not in contests, but one on one. Oh, what are different they are and what complex.
      And I myself am the author. And I conclude: you need to write, write. And time will put everything in its place.

    Svetlana, and from which contests will advise to start a child for 14 years. Son wants to become a screenwriter. B I want someone to look at his texts professionally. Issued a review. We like what he writes, but we are parents. We can not be objective.

    • Svetlana, unfortunately, can hardly help you with something. I choose exactly contests for adults, and not for children and adolescents. But I think, if googled, you can find such. You can also try to send a script for the monopoly contest "Monolith" (until 25.07) - it is in the list of this publication, you will follow the link to the site of the organizers: in this competition there are no age limits.
      As for the texts, they can also be shown to someone from writers, screenwriters, directorists: they quickly grab how the text is suitable. But best, while the boy is still too young, go to the district center of creativity with him, sign up to the corresponding circle or studio. You can also try to contact the editorial office of the local newspaper.
      I wish you success!

    • Svetlana, try sending your stories to the Competition "Dark Light Magic".

      Or does not necessarily contest, but just want to publish? You can on this my site. True, if the stories are really interesting and do not require large edits. If the edit is much - the editor is paid.

I ranked with my strange, angular, but always under the ribs by the rhymers Andrei Voznesensky.
I did not read, and almost sang our poems strange, from another dough stuck, piercing Bella Ahmadulin.
The soul of the seeming simplicity of amazingly deep Robert Christmas.
Understood into other worlds, mounted lines of Bulat Okudzhava.
And Evtushenko ... He as if he absorbed the wing to itself from everything that was in the sixties.
Such different lines written by him in different years.
Therefore, it, both heard, and scolded, as we wore on their hands, so they poured.
