Another question: You spoke of contests as being the best way of getting something done for an aspiring writer. Can you recommend any lists/sites that list these, and ways young writers can help avoid being scammed by paying fees to bogus contests?
moviebytes.com

they list virtually all the competitions and includes writers' feeback on how they were treated. I'd steer clear of any competition that hasn't been around for at least two years.

if you're in the horror genre, the best is LA Screamfest. I was a semi-finalist three years in a row before landing a rep, but I got one from this competition.
