Call For Submissions — Creative Challenges and How You Deal
I’m someone who keeps receipts. So when I wrote an article a few years back about getting rejected by agents, you better believe I saved the emails and screenshoted them for the post.
Rejection is one of the toughest challenges for writers, one of many. For this week’s writing prompt, tell me what is the most difficult or challenging creative moment that has happened to you in the past year? Is it being rejected by a publication? Not achieving a creative goal?
We wanna know.

Call for Submissions — How do you express your womanhood through your art?
We’re about halfway through Woman’s History Month being celebrated in the U.S. I’ve been thinking about the history of women and their contributions to literature and art over the decades.
From my perspective — male, Black, straight — it seems what it means to be a woman has changed so much. My curiosity leads me to wonder how that difference is expressed through art, specifically writing.
For this week’s writing prompt, tell me how you express your womanhood through your art. Is this even something you do? Do you feel external or cultural pressure to express your womanhood in a specific way?
