Accepting Submissions: {To Be or Not To Be} 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.

To be or not to be, that is the prompt this week.

Whether it is about Hamlet himself…

Or about the complexities of existence…

Or the moment you realize that Scar is Claudius and Mufasa is Polonius and oh my GOD, Simba is Hamlet?!?!

… we at The Prompt are drawing inspiration from the world’s most famous dilemma. Join us this week for soliloquies, stories, or memories from our high school drama clubs.

To Be or Not To Be a Prompt writer. That is our question.

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

Write us anything that comes to mind using those famous Shakespearean words. It can be a personal essay, a poem, short story, script, or anything else original and fresh. Let the bard inspire you.

Email your responses to kelaine.conochan@thepromptmag.com by Friday August 18^th at midnight EDT. hamle
