Each week, we issue a writing prompt to our own staff, guest contributors, and readers like you. We welcome guest submissions, so if you’re interested in being featured or regularly contributing to the site, email your responses to kelaine.conochan [at] thepromptmag.com.


There’s something shiny and new in the neighborhood. A flashy new car in the driveway. A new party house in West Egg. And you’re invited, old sport.

As a culture, we’re always so enchanted by new money. We’ve been trying to keep up with the Joneses and Kardashians and billionaire executives who keep creating their own worlds. Isn’t that just the perfect opportunity to write something special?

I hope you like our nouveau riche vibe.

This Week’s Writing Prompt: NEW MONEY

This week, we’re looking for new original pieces, using NEW MONEY as our prompt.

If you’ve got an inspired ideas about how to respond to this week’s prompt, send us your submission of 400-700 words. Write us anything that comes to mind when you think of  NEW MONEY. It can be a personal essay, a poem, short story, script, or anything else original and fresh. Ironic or sincere, real or imagined—just make it worth our while and we’ll publish it, include it in our newsletter, and give you the chance to join the creative, talented staff writers here at The Prompt.

Email your responses to kelaine.conochan@thepromptmag.com by Sunday October 2nd at midnight EDT.
