Rock Hill Library Workshop Magazine

We’re going to publish a printed anthology of some of our work from the workshop.

All current and former attendees are invited to submit multiple favorite pieces of writing.

Use these Prompts

  • List five things you own. Write about them. Describe their importance in your life.

  • Home is… / Homelessness is…

  • Write about the library.

  • What is holding you back? Or write about overcoming obstacles—past, present, future.

  • What does America mean to you? Write about patriotism, citizenship, etc.

  • Write about something you believed but have changed your mind about.

  • Write about fear. About facing it, overcoming it, living with it.

Also, the magazine will feature an autobiographical write up and photo for each author.

The photo can be a face picture or some other kind of photo that you want included.

Feel free to be creative with the biographical write up. It can be serious or straightforward or quirky and sideways.

Such as:

  • Write your life story from the perspective of your shoes.

  • Write about the five most important events in your life.

  • Write about hopes in your life. Past hopes. Future hopes. Hopes realized. Hopes dashed.


Submission Deadline: August 12th.
