Sinossi
What happens when a writer is given strange, challenging, and completely unexpected prompts?
The result is Once a Prompt a Time: 44 innovative short stories spanning multiple genres, and each inspired by a unique writing contest prompt. Whether 100 words or 3,000, each story was written under a tight deadline (sometimes just 24 hours!) and within the guidelines of specific and decidedly unusual prompts.
Like the prompts themselves, the book is one-of-a-kind in that the original prompt appears at the end of the story it inspired, allowing readers to experience the story with no spoilers or preconceived notions.
Ideal for Readers
- If you enjoy short fiction and love to explore a variety of genres, this book is for you.
- Likewise, if you tend to keep to one genre, it’s also a great read. It allows you to test the waters by just dipping your toe versus being pushed into the deep end of the pool.
- A terrific option for your Book Club—something for everyone and guaranteed to spur lively discussion!
Indispensable for Writers
- New to prompted writing contests? Here’s a playbook to get you started.
- Need a push out of your genre comfort zone? See how another writer overcame the same trepidation and the resulting stories.
- Simply looking for another avenue of inspiration? You’ll find it here.
