Put It To Rest Newsletter #5
Enter Our First Writing Prompt Contest!
1. Writing Prompt Contest
Put It To Rest is having its first Writing Prompt Contest.
The categories are Poetry and Personal Essay and there will be one winner in each category: each winner will have their work featured on the homepage.
The topic is digging through the bones. We refer to bones figuratively so often like when we say I can feel it in my bones, flesh and bones, put flesh on the bones, a bag of bones, bare bones, and make no bones about it. But what do bones mean to you? How does digging through the bones result in self-discovery?
For eligibility please ensure you follow the editor and the publication. The submission deadline is July 1.
