Stuck For Writing Inspiration?

You can use our archive of story starters provided by staff, lead and assistant writers. You can find them on our Instagram account @thesparkwriters too, but this groups all our Story Starters together in one place – handy for those who don’t use the app. 

Don’t forget, you can submit any pieces that you write to our magazine. For details on how to do this, please see this page.
