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.


You were reading this post and considering submitting something. I was editing new submissions and felt you enter the room before I heard or saw you. Wow. What presence. I was hoping you’d say something to break the ice. Something like, “Dear Editor,” or a soft pitch of a headline.

If you’re out there, please do write. I’ve been checking my inbox obsessively, waiting for your draft to come in.
