Accepting Submissions: Write from the Perspective of a {PEST}

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.

A pest is something generally bothersome, invasive, or unwanted. A destructive little monster, eating your crops or sucking your livestock’s blood or chewing holes in your walls. A real f*cking nuisance.

And we want you to write us a piece, taking on the voice, personality, and perspective of a pest.
