Here’s a list of all the short prompts that we’ve got for writers to take advantage of! They’re broken up by genre to make things a little easier for authors to find prompts for their particular genres, but trust me, it can be super fun to take, say, an adventure prompt and then write a science fiction tale from it!
(Bear with me as I make all the prompts, this is an ongoing project!)
