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.


Should you just sit there reading and reading, and never putting your writing talent on the page?

Should you remain a spectator when you really want in on this action?

Should you continue doubting your creativity, and whether your good ideas deserve to be published?

The answer to all these questions is the same. And it’s also this week’s writing prompt.

THIS WEEK’S PROMPT: No Way José.

As always, we’re looking for fresh ideas and new voices to add to our creative community. So draft up 400-700 words using No Way José as the prompt and send them our way, José. It can be a personal essay, a poem, short story, script, satirical post, or anything else original.

Maybe you can answer the age old questions—Who the hell is José? And why is everyone always denying that poor guy?

Just make it worth our while and we’ll publish your piece, 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 Wednesday, September5th at midnight EST.
