Free write with today’s photo prompt.

So you want to pitch a column for Literary Mama? This is fantastic, and we can’t wait to read your submission, but before you dash off to your computer, you should spend some time considering these three essential ingredients of a successful column pitch . . .

In today’s guest post, Literary Mama reader Wendy Wisner moves from the edge of her writing life to diving right in.

This time of year brings delightful signs of rebirth and change. I find myself seeking commencement speeches to read in the hope I might soak up their heady optimism for positive growth. But while I have my head in the clouds, I am happy to learn that literary mamas back on earth have been reading lengthier pieces they can share with us.

This month’s Writerly Roundup is here for your reading pleasure!

In this Literary Reflections writing prompt, we ask you to identify a time you were given a “green light” to pursue a creative project, or tell us what you would work on if you were granted the freedom to follow your passion. We then invite you to share your responses with our editors.

Last month, we invited readers to share their responses to a writing prompt inspired by Jennifer Hollis’s literary reflections essay, “Everything Counts.” Read on to see how reader Elizabeth Bastos responds to the call to write.
