L'esprit de l'escalier It's a French colloquialism for coming up with the perfect response to something well after the moment to say it has passed. We're here to save you from that feeling, but don't let our moment pass you by. After seven years, YeahWrite is hosting...

Unraveling As we mentioned in our guide to genre prompts a while back (cue the "it's been 84 years" meme) there are some genres that are checklists of things to be included, and some that ask you to change your style or narrative voice. Both kinds, however, ask you to...
The final round of Super Challenge #28 is underway!
So you've got 48 hours... to finish a story. From plot to pinnacle. That's not a lot of time. So while you're mulling over our mixed-genre prompt and trying to find your way into the story you'll submit, take a few minutes and make yourself a little housekeeping...
Congratulations to the Round 1 winners at YeahWrite Super Challenge #28
Think positive! By now, all of our writers have been gnashing their teeth over their feedback for a few hours. It's easy to focus on the negatives, but remember: the judges are specifically asked to point out what they see as the strong points as well as the weak...
Super Challenge #28 Round 1 is Underway!
Let's do this! Are you ready for 48 hours of frantically writing and then just as frantically second-guessing your idea? Before you go grab your prompt and start doing that, we'd like a word. Specifically, we need to talk to you about AI. Against the backdrop of the...

Time, time, time SPECIAL NOTE: This weekend, the US marks the beginning of Daylight Saving Time, which means we lose an hour. Because we don't want to penalize our writers, we will close submissions at 11:00 pm US Eastern Time on Sunday, March 12 (instead of 10:00...
Congratulations to the Round 1 winners at YeahWrite Super Challenge #27
Write here, write now. Creative nonfiction is uncomfortable. It's vulnerable. And it's amazing. Congratulations to ALL our writers. The judges worked hard to give you the valuable feedback that could take your essays to the next level (if you're not on our Discord...
Super Challenge #27 Round 1 is Underway!
You're on your own Just kidding. While by the time you see this post I'll have fled the country (just to Canada, don't worry), you're never really on your own as a writer at YeahWrite. Don't believe me? Head over to the Super Challenge Discord channel and find...

Enticing? It's a new year, and we're enthused. We hope you're as enraptured as we are by the news that YeahWrite is putting together our first ever anthology, and that you're... you know what, I designed this whole paragraph around a bunch of "en" words and now I'm...
Congratulations to the Winners of YeahWrite’s Super Challenge #26
