Prompt Images

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.


Oh hell yes. Quitting time on your regular jobby, starting time for your drinking hobby.

Happy hour is a time to cut loose with your friends and coworkers,

toss back a few cold brews and hot wings,

and stop thinking about meetings and clients.

Because it’s five o’clock somewhere. Actually, right here. On the page. Time for you to get cracking on your next post.

HAPPY HOUR is this week’s writing prompt.

And we’re looking for fresh ideas and new voices. So draft up 400-700 words using HAPPY HOUR as the prompt. It can be a personal essay, a poem, short story, script, satirical post, or anything else original. 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 who are positively DRUNK WITH HAPPINESS.

Email your responses to kelaine.conochan@thepromptmag.com by Wednesday, June 6th at midnight EST.

We can’t wait to read your musings, Mr. Hemingway.
