#315 Make a Wish

The Reedsy Prompts newsletter has come a long way since it first landed in inboxes back in 2016. (Yup, that started way before our weekly writing contest was properly set up here!) What began as a simple idea — five weekly prompts to spark creativity — has grown into a global community of writers who have shared over 100,000 stories over the years.

This week, we’re proud to celebrate the 464th edition of our newsletter. That’s 464 weeks of worlds built and characters brought to life… all thanks to the creativity of writers like you!

Let’s mark this special occasion with a theme that couldn’t be more fitting: birthdays. But not just the cake-and-candle kind — we’re talking about personal milestones, fresh starts, and the quiet (or bold!) moments that mark a turning point.
