Description

Seeks short creative nonfiction writing based on the prompts shared on our website.

What exactly do we mean by “creative nonfiction”? In essence, we want to read true stories told in a literary way. That means we’re open to memoir, personal essays, original journalism, historical essays, or basically any other literary forms that are based in fact. It can be a story about yourself, someone you know, or a subject you’ve researched: the only requirement is a focus on presenting the information beautiful, creative, literary way.

All entries should be based on or connected to one of the creative writing prompts on our site, and should be between 500-1500 words.
