Weekly Prompts, Tips, and Tricks
We kick off the (writing) week every Friday at noon with unique prompts, deep dives into craft, and news about our classes and competitions. This blog post is the place to start, whether you write fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or anything in between!
Super Challenge
The Super Challenge is our pay-to-play quarterly writing competition. Each Super Challenge takes place over the course of about six weeks, with writers competing for cash prizes in prompted fiction or nonfiction. Every participant walks away with substantial personalized feedback on their work from professional editors and writers.
Classes & Workshops
If you’re looking to improve your craft, we’ve got what you’re looking for. Our classes and workshops are designed to fit your schedules, from two-hour workshops to multi-week courses. Topics so far have included poetry, prompts, summaries, and creating believable characters, and there’s even more to come!
Writing Resources
Looking for a few extra tips and tricks or craft hints? We’ve got you covered. YeahWrite has compiled an extensive archive of posts focused on the craft of writing: from how to write a sonnet to how to structure a personal essay, plus an in-depth series on how to taking your writing—and publishing—to the next level.
YeahWrite Coffeehouse:
Facebook Group & Discord Server
The YeahWrite Coffeehouse is the place for all YeahWriters to share inspiration, ask questions, and build a supportive community. Hang out with fellow writers and editors, share your responses to our weekly prompts, get help if you need it, compete in writing sprints, and make lasting connections for the rest of your career as a writer. We have two options for you: Facebook group and Discord server. Pull up a chair and say hello!
