Complimentary Creative Writing Prompts (syllabi)

Here fws subscribers will find writing prompts (to be posted monthly). These are syllabi I have used to facilitate writing workshops with adults for the past decade. Each includes a writing warm-up, writing samples that help you understand more about how you might approach each prompt, and at least one writing exercise. Just click the subscribe button below to get started! It’s free.

Or choose a title from the “Prompt Links for Subscribers” list below. Once you are there and if you have not already done so, you will be prompted to become a subscriber. There is no fee to subscribe.

Subscriber content also includes access to a PDF (downloadable) version of my novel, Making Room for George, a collection of my poems, what she holds, and more.

Please note: teachers of creative writing are free to copy and distribute these syllabi with attribution. Let me know how they work for you!

Here are some samples of what you’ll find when you subscribe:
