Accepting Submissions: {FLAMES} Writing Prompt

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.

Things are getting hot over here at The Prompt. We’re cooking over an open fire, stories that you just can’t read anywhere else. And this week, inspired (or something?) by Valentine’s Day and the notion that maybe an old flame is still burning hot. Ow!

And we want to hear from you. Fire and brimstone. Grill marks and charcoal. Arsonists and forest fires. And of course, that old romance from way way back. This week, we’re talking FLAMES.

This Week’s Writing Prompt: FLAMES

This week, we’re looking for new original pieces, using FLAMES 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  FLAMES. 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 Sunday February 19th at midnight EST.
