Join The Autumn Poetry Chapbook Challenge!
October 9th-18th 2023! 

Autumn is such an interesting season. We have the changing leaves, the uptick of back to school, holidays like Halloween, fall festivals and so many interesting things to do. There is just something about the season that has a mysterious, other-worldly feeling to it. It's the perfect season to write about and to inspire creative writing! 

And so, we are very excited to bring you this Autumn themed poetry writing challenge! 

15 Poems in 10 Days

Participation:

Each day of the contest the participants will be emailed a prompt video for the day. They will also receive the 100 Poetry Prompt downloadable workbook the first day of the challenge. All participants are free to use the main prompts, prompts from the journal or any other ideas or inspiration they have for writing their poems, the only hard and fast rule is to write the 15 poems in 10 days!
