L. Ron Hubbard's Writers and Illustrators of the Future contest winners come from a variety of backgrounds and ages in 2013

This quarter's contest winners, upon analysis of all entries are just as diverse as any previous quarter of the contest, with a chemistry teacher from California, a housewife from Colorado, a real estate agent from Wisconsin and three art students in illustration, and they range in age from 17 years to 54 years of age. This simply proves the point, anyone with writing talent can enter and win.

This vehicle for supporting budding authors is the free-to-enter global contest called L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future, now in its 30th year. Created by best-selling author L. Ron Hubbard, the merit-based Writers of the Future Contest was initiated to discover and encourage talented beginning writers of science fiction and fantasy. Quarterly winners of the Contest appear in the best-selling annual anthology, receive cash prizes, and attend an all-expenses paid gala awards ceremony and writing workshop. A sister contest, Illustrators of the Future was formed five years later and gives the same career launch for new illustrators.

Contest judge and lead workshop instructor for the writers contest and author of On Stranger Tides, Tim Powers, says to winners every year "don't quit your day job. Keep at it whenever you can, and your passion for writing will guide you through, evenings, weekends, whenever you can."

Cliff Nielsen, the illustrator lead workshop instructor for the illustrators side of the contest says something similar to his workshop. "Try to get a job in any aspect of the field of arts when you are starting out. You then won't get disassociated with the field while you hone your craft and send out your work."
