Effigy Press
Writer's Corner
Welcome to the Effigy Press equivalent of the shadowy nook of the coffee shop—the kind where the coffee’s cheap, the chairs are rickety, and inspiration drips as freely as your questionable life choices. Here, you’ll find a stash of writing prompts designed to give your creative gears a much-needed kick in the pants.
​
Oh, and because we know you're probably daydreaming about fame and fortune (or just, you know, paying rent), we've thrown in a list of writing contests. Enter if you dare—you might even get some cash out of it!
​
And for a little extra whimsy? Written? Kitten! Because nothing says “I’m a serious writer” quite like kittens. (You’re welcome.)

01
Sometimes we need a little help getting the ideas flowing on paper... or text. Sometimes it's easier to focus on a smaller task than a large chapter or book. Whatever your need might be, we've compiled a list of prompts that might be of some use.
02
Want to see if your work can win you some money? There's quite a few contests going on right now. We've done some searching for you thanks very much and put a small list together for you.

Set the word count, write, get a kitten. It really is that simple. We have no idea who's behind it, but we wish them the best! You're welcome... I think.
