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.


Oooh, could ya? Would ya? Help us out, man. Please?

Favors come in all shapes and sizes. Some are infinitesimal and easy, no sweat and no problem. Others are massively inconvenient or imposing. And then you’ve got the whole universe of requests in between.

We’re writing about favors this week. Doing them, asking others to do them, and having them done without asking. So, why don’t you do me a favor and send us a submission?

This Week’s Writing Prompt: DO ME A FAVOR

This week, we’re looking for new original pieces, using DO ME A FAVOR 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 DO ME A FAVOR. 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 Thursday June 3rd at midnight EST.
