Activities are done weekly to engage users and authors. Here's the place where you can find prompts to help you develop your writing skills or have fun with us. Enjoy

|| CLOSED & JUDGING || Tired of contests never having poetry? Well, that changes today. Welcome to The Slam Dunk Poetry Contest, where this is an awards for poetry only. It will have 11 categories, so plenty of chances to submit! There are no payments, so this is a 100% free contest. Participants will receive prizes just for signing up, though of course placements will receive exclusive prizes. So, are you ready? Let's dive in!

The Open Novella Contest is back for 2026! Join fellow storytellers and plant the seed of a tale that will blossom into a 20,000+ word novella within 12 weeks! Your epic quest begins February 1st, 2026, so mark your calendars with this date!

Are you interested in writing a Science Fiction story? If you want to start writing a Sci-Fi story, these prompts are perfect! They give you cool ideas to get your imagination going. For example, you could write about a world where robots rule, or a spaceship that's lost in space. Maybe you'll think of a hero who discovers a new planet or a time traveler who changes the past. These prompts are easy to understand and fun to use. They help you think of exciting stories with aliens, future tech, and epic sci-fi adventures. Get ready to write your own awesome sci-fi story!

(X) Open for Entries until midnight EST on July 31st. (GMT -5) Welcome to The Ever-Generating Story Awards! TEGSA 2026 is here! Can you craft an entire storyline based on ten prompts in a specific order? It's not as hard as it sounds. (Really, it's not.) A song will be assigned to each of your ten main chapters. You may use their titles, the names of the songwriters/performers, or meanings to create your prompt. The best part? You have the freedom to interpret them in any genre you want. You know the prompts are calling your name. Are you ready? (Fanfiction is welcome as long as it's read as a stand-alone, and readers do not need prior knowledge of the original fiction to read it.)

Welcome, fellow writers! I host monthly contests as a way to support the writing community. All are welcome to participate no matter what stage of your writing journey you are on. These contests take place across multiple platforms (Neobook, Booksie, Wattpad, and Underground Bookshelf). Winners are invited to have their work featured on Underground Bookshelf. You can learn more about UB at https://www.underground-bookshelf.com/ (As of writing this, the Neobook website and app have been down for several weeks, so it is best to submit through Underground Bookshelf, Wattpad, or Booksie.) If you are a winner of one of the monthly contests, please make sure I have your bio, the name you would like to be credited under, pronouns, and content warnings (if applicable). This will help me when I go to feature your piece on Underground Bookshelf. Please visit the chapter dedicated to the month/prompt you are submitting to for rules and deadlines. Depending on the prompt, the contest may be open to poetry, short stories, flash/microfiction, first chapters, excerpts, short memoirs, or a combination of several. Please also refrain from submitting fanfiction (for copyright reasons) and work containing egregious violence or sex (I'm not set up for age restrictions on Underground Bookshelf). To submit your work, drop the link and title in the comment section of the contest/chapter you are participating in. If you have any trouble doing this (sometimes Wattpad gets a little glitchy), you can email these to me at contact.undergroundbookshelf@gmail.com. Thank you so much for submitting your work to these contests! I always look forward to reading submissions. I can't wait to read your work!

🍷 Welcome to the AMUSE BOUCHE CONTEST! 🍷 An amuse-bouche is a small bite offered by the chef to showcase their style before the meal begins. This contest celebrates the literary equivalent: opening lines, first paragraphs, first chapters, summaries, and covers that leave readers hungry for more. Whether you write poetry, fanfiction, or original works, this is your chance to prove that first impressions matter. Captivate us. Intrigue us. Tempt us to keep reading.

Welcome to the world of a romantic storyteller. I have to warn you, you'll either be filled with so much love or a lot of heartbreak. But still, a romantic's heart cannot be broken 💘
