At Prestige Prose, we believe that writing prompts generate stories in genres the writer might not otherwise attempt. The purpose of a writing prompt is to spur creativity by creating an image in the mind of the writer and allowing the writer to develop a story around that image. Using a writing prompt allows the writer to devise a theme for the story. The writer uses all of her senses to produce a story based on the image the prompt inspires.

We will post one writing prompt each week. Check back often for updates.
