Writing Challenges

Short writing prompts, some from us and some from friends of Oozezi, each with a deadline, a set number of places and a prize at the end. Find one that speaks to you, and write your way in. Some are in-house, just for readers of The Twenty-Seventh, our monthly paper.

Tier 1: Warm-Up

Short, simple prompts with quick turnarounds. A gentle way back into writing. Smaller prizes.

Tier 2: Steady

More to think about: a few rules and a shape to write within. Medium prizes.

Tier 3: Deep Dive

Specific, demanding prompts, read closely and judged carefully. The biggest prizes.
