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.


Bruh, it is HOT out there. The damn dog days of summer. You’re sweating, the A/C is blasting, and you could fry a friggin egg on the sidewalk.

But something’s calling you. You can’t just sit here all day, wasting away indoors. You’ve got to go out there and do something. Something legendary. Something EPIC. Something way outside your #ComfortZone.

This week’s writing prompt is #ComfortZone.

We’re looking for 400-700 word submissions from our readers using the #ComfortZone prompt.

Write to us about a time you did something that stretched beyond your comfort zone. It can be a personal essay, a poem, short story, script, or anything else original and fresh that inspires you to write.

Email your responses to kelaine.conochan@thepromptmag.com by Wednesday July 26th at midnight EDT. Don’t wait! Get started now!

Best Reader Submissions Will Win Prizes from Die Epic

This week, we’re partnering with Die Epic, a dope lifestyle and clothing brand, to provide prizes for the best submissions.

  • First place gets a FREE CUSTOMIZED DIE EPIC JERSEY.
  • Runner-up gets $25 GIFT CARD for Die Epic gear.
  • The 10 best entries will be featured on The Prompt.

And we don’t want you going home empty-handed. So, anyone who submits a post that complies with The Prompt’s submission rules will get a code for 50% off Die Epic’s Cheapsk8r t-shirt.

As always, we’ll feature the very best posts. Not usually a writer? That’s OK. Stretch beyond your #ComfortZone and show us what you got!
